Roman Law, Fragment

The fragment follows the division found in the Codex of Justinian in the Corpus Iuris Civilis, and it contains the same headings: the first visible rubric reads 'De accusationibus et inscriptionibus' (CJ.9.2.0), the last 'Ad legem iuliam maiestatis' (CJ.9.8.0). However, the (Roman) law text in the fragment is not part of the Corpus Iuris Civilis. [Identification updated December 2018: the text is from Azo of Bologna's Summa Codices.] -- Description by Erik Kwakkel, July 2006
