Ad Dig. 19,1,55Windscheid: Lehrbuch des Pandektenrechts, 7. Aufl. 1891, Bd. II, § 315, Note 3.Pomponius, Epistles, Book X. Where a slave who has been purchased or promised is in the power of the enemy, Octavenus thinks that the better opinion is that the sale and stipulation are valid, because it is a transaction entered into between the purchaser and the vendor; for the difficulty exists rather in furnishing what was agreed upon, than in the nature of the transaction, for even if the delivery of the slave should be ordered by the judge, it should be deferred until it can take place.
Pomponius, Epistles, Book X.
