同一位奧古斯都致禁衛軍長官約翰。鑑於藉利奧之法(Leonine law),最可敬的眾主教、長老、執事被准許持有彷彿軍役性質的特有產(peculium),並附加此項:他們甚至可就此產立遺囑,於是便生疑問——此類遺囑是否應受「不孝遺囑之訴」(the complaint of the undutiful will)的攻擊,既然關於一切贏得此類特有產的人,同樣的問題都已興起?
The same Augustus to John, Praetorian Prefect. Whereas by the Leonine law it was granted to the most reverend bishops, and presbyters, and deacons to hold a peculium as if a military one, with this added, that they might even make a testament concerning it, it was doubted whether testaments of this kind ought to be assailed by the complaint of the undutiful will, since concerning all persons who have earned a peculium of this kind the same question had arisen?
We therefore decree that to the most reverend bishops, and presbyters, and deacons who possess such a peculium as if military, it is permitted, concerning these things only which are of the quasi-military peculium, not only to draw up their last testaments according to the laws (which descends from the Leonine constitution), but also that their last wills, held concerning these things only, are in no way subject to the complaint of the undutiful will. Given on the Nones of February, at Constantinople, after the consulship of Lampadius and Orestes, in the second year, 532.
