Why night is called "intempesta" (untimely).

Therefore, the ancients called the night "intempesta" original: "intempestam", as Varro writes, because there was no time for acting. Hence also that other law related in these tables: LET SUNSET BE THE LAST TIME LIMIT, as will be said shortly.

From Martianus in Law 3, Digest, On the Julian Law regarding majesty.

THAT IF ANYONE HAD INCITED AN ENEMY, OR HAD HANDED OVER A CITIZEN TO AN ENEMY, HE SHOULD PAY THE PENALTY WITH HIS LIFE.

What it means to "incite an enemy," I have not yet been able to determine with sufficient certainty, says Hotoman, unless perhaps it is to fight against the enemy outside of the established order; that this was sanctioned by death may be judged either from the noble punishment of his son by the Dictator A. Posthumius, or from the similar act of the Consul T. Manlius, both of whom struck their own sons with an axe because they had fought with the enemy outside of orders, as Diodorus Siculus (book 12) and Livy (books 4 and 8) report.

Law 4, Digest, on the same title.

It must also be seen whether to "incite an enemy" is what Scaevola said: making enemies out of the friends of the Roman people. He testifies that this was a crime of majesty, when someone had given cause for war. Although Q. Mutius was accustomed to respond that it was more useful to hand over to the enemies those who had struck an ambassador, as Pomponius says. In Verrina 7, Cicero clearly signifies that it was the law that those who had violated a treaty should be handed over to those who had been affected by the injury.

Last law, Digest, On Embassies.

THAT WHOEVER HAD SET FIRE TO ANOTHER'S HOUSE OR A HEAP OF GRAIN PLACED NEAR A HOUSE WITH EVIL INTENT: HE SHOULD BE BOUND, BEATEN, AND KILLED BY FIRE; BUT IF HE HAD DONE IT BY ACCIDENT, HE SHOULD REPAIR THE DAMAGE, OR BE PUNISHED AT THE JUDGMENT OF THE PRAETOR.

From Caius, in Law "Qui aedes", 9, Digest, On fire, collapse.
