Pomponius, Various Passages, Book VII. Julianus states that an exception based on the Macedonian Decree of the Senate offers no hindrance to anyone except to a party who knew, or could have known, that he to whom he made the loan was a son under paternal control.
Pomponius, Various Passages, Book VII. Aristo replied to Neratius Appianus as follows: If a slave is directed to be free by will when he reaches the age of thirty years, and, before doing so, he is sentenced to the mines, and afterwards is released, there is no doubt that he will be entitled to the legacy left with his freedom, nor will his right be affected by his sentence to the mines. The rule is the same when the slave is appointed an heir under a condition, for he will become the necessary heir.
The Same, On Various Lessons, Book VII. Where a slave is ordered to be free as follows, “Let Stichus be free, if my heir does not alienate him,” even if he is to be free conditionally, he can, nevertheless, be alienated.
Pomponius, Various Passages, Book VII. Where a certain sum of money is promised as a donation, and it is probable that the resources of the donor will be exhausted to such an extent that he will have almost nothing left, an action should be granted against him for what he is able to pay, so that enough may remain in his hands to enable him to live. This rule ought, by all means, to be observed between children and parents.
Pomponius, Various Passages, Book VII. If, having stipulated with Titius, I accept you as surety, and afterwards I stipulate with another for the same money, and receive another surety, they will not be joint-sureties, for the reason that they are sureties in two different stipulations.
