Enchiridii libri
Ex libro II
Pomponius, Enchiridion, Book II. It is sometimes customary for a curator to be appointed for a ward who has a guardian, either on account of the ill health of the latter, or because of his old age; but he is understood to be rather a business manager than a genuine curator. 1The Prætor is accustomed to permit guardians to appoint an assistant in the administration of the guardianship, where they cannot satisfactorily administer it themselves, but this assistant is appointed at the guardian’s own risk.
Pomponius, Enchiridion, Book II. An oral obligation is discharged either naturally or civilly. It is discharged naturally, for instance, by payment, or where the property mentioned in the stipulation has ceased to exist without the fault of the promisor. It is discharged civilly, for example, by a release, as where the rights of the stipulator and the promisor become united in the same person.
