Mosaycarum et Romanarum legum collatio

TITVLVS IIII.

...a slave, and the one who has been asked by contract for the sword, or even the one who has hired out his services to fight with beasts. But it is also permitted to kill an adulterer caught in adultery if he has been condemned by a public judgment, whether he is a freedman or his own or his father's, and as much a Roman citizen as a Latin. But it is also permitted to kill the freedman of one's father and mother, and of one's son and daughter: in which place he would also be held as surrendered. But he ought to declare it before him whose jurisdiction it is in the place where he killed, and to dismiss the wife. If he has not done this, he does not kill with impunity. It should be known, however, that the Divine Marcus and Commodus wrote back that one who has illicitly killed an adulterer is punished by a lighter penalty. But the Great Antoninus also spared those who killed adulterers led by unconsidered heat. And so on.

THE SAME PAVLVS in the same single book and title. By the right of the husband or the father who accuses, one can also be won without the penalty of calumny; if he accuses by the right of a stranger, he can be punished by the penalty of calumny, but only after two months. If he has tested the matter within four useful months, although he is of such a kind that he cannot otherwise accuse, such as a freedman, or one younger than twenty-five years, or infamous, nevertheless he is admitted to the accusation, as Papianus also wrote in book 15.

PAPIANUS in book 15 of the Responsions under the title to the Julian Law on adulterers. A Roman citizen who has had a foreign woman in marriage without marriage rights original: "connubium", by the right of a husband does not sue her as an adulteress, but infamy will not be opposed to him, or because he is a freedman of thirty thousand sesterces or did not have a son, while pursuing his own injury.
