Justinian, Institutes 1.8 in medio:
expedit enim rei publicae, ne quis re sua male utatur. Cuius rescripti ad
Aelium Marcianum emissi verba haec sunt: Dominorum
quidem potestatem in suos servos illibatam esse oportet nec cuiquam hominum
ius suum detrahi. Sed dominorum
interest ne auxilium contra saevitiam vel famem vel intolerabilem iniuriam
denegetur his qui iuste deprecantur. (it
concerns the public good, that no one should misuse his own property. The
following are the terms of this rescript of Antoninus, which was sent to
Laelius Marcianus: The power of masters over their slaves ought to be
preserved unimpaired, nor ought any man to be deprived of his just right.
But it is for the interest of all masters themselves, that
when someone justly asks for help against against cruelty,
hunger, or intolerable injury, should not be
refused.) |
