- Dig. XVII.I.10.3 Ulpianus libro trigensimo primo ad edictum
Si procurator meus pecuniam meam habeat, ex mora utique usuras mihi pendet. sed et si pecuniam meam faenori dedit usurasque consecutus est, consequenter dicemus debere eum praestare quantumcumque emolumentum sensit, sive ei mandavi sive non, quia bonae fidei hoc congruit, ne de alieno lucrum sentiat.- If my procurator has my money, he surely has to pay me interest while in delay. But also when he loaned my money and reaped interest, then we say consequently that has to hand over all gain that he has enjoyed, whether I have mandated him or not, because it beseems good faith that he does not enjoy someone else’s meed.
