Notae ad Papiniani De adulteriis libros
Ex libro II
Marcianus says in a note, in the Second Book on Adultery by Papinianus, that the Divine Marcus and Lucius, Emperors, stated in a Rescript addressed to Flavia Turtulla, by means of Mensor, a freedman: “We are induced, by the length of time during which you, being ignorant of the law, have lived in matrimony with your uncle, and also because you have been married with the consent of your grandmother, as well as on account of your numerous offspring, to decide, taking all these circumstances into account, that the legal status of your children, the issue of a marriage contracted forty years ago, shall be confirmed, and that they shall, therefore, be considered legitimate.”
Marcianus, in the Second Book On Adultery, by Papinianus, states that a common accusation for incest can be brought at the same time against the two persons concerned.
