102:1
Idem Augustus. Differente domino recipere emphyteuma. licentiam habet emphyteuta consignare ipsum, et Constantinopoli quidem in fine triennii contestari id ipsum apud hyparchos [seu praefectos prætorio] aut apud praefectum urbis, aut competentem recusaniis magistratum, aut patriarcham, si dominus homo sit potens: in provinciis autem apud praesidem, aut, eo non morante ibi, apud defensorem, aut episcopum civitatis, in qua est is qui recusat; et unius ipsorum assumere testationem: ac nisi aut sic acceperit canonem, canon solvitur, et lucratur canonem emphyteuta eliam sequentis temporis, et eousque quo dominus mittat per lestalionem petitum;
同一位奧古斯都。當地主延遲收受永佃租(emphyteuma)時,永佃人(emphyteuta)得將其提存,並且在君士坦丁堡於三年期滿時,向都會長官(hyparchos,即禁衛總長)、或向京畿長官、或向拒收一方的有權官吏、或向宗主教(倘若地主為有勢力之人)證明此事;在各行省則向總督,或在總督不駐留當地時,向拒收者所在城市的護民官(defensor)或主教證明;並取得其中一人的證書:除非他以此方式收取了租金(canon),否則該租金即告解除,且永佃人連同其後續期間的租金亦一併取得,直至地主經由此證明前來索取所求之時為止;
The same Augustus. When the owner delays to receive the emphyteutic rent (emphyteuma), the emphyteuta (holder of the emphyteusis) has permission to deposit it, and at Constantinople indeed, at the end of the triennium, to attest the same thing before the hyparchs [or praetorian prefects], or before the prefect of the city, or the competent magistrate of the one refusing, or the patriarch, if the owner be a powerful man; but in the provinces before the governor, or, if he does not reside there, before the defender or the bishop of the city in which the one who refuses resides; and to take the attestation of one of them: and unless he has thus received the rent (canon), the rent is dissolved, and the emphyteuta gains the rent even of the following period, and up to the point at which the owner sends, by attestation, to demand what is sought;
102:2
exinde etenim, non autem ex praeterito tempore, accipiet, et post triennium post attestationem ejusmodi indevotum emphyteutam expellere poterit.
因為他自此以後(而非自過去的時間)方得收取,並且在三年期滿、作此種證明之後,得將不盡職(indevotus)的永佃人逐出。
for from thenceforth, and not from the time past, will he receive; and after a triennium, following an attestation of this kind, he will be able to expel the undevoted (negligent) emphyteuta.
