... Ex decreto et consensu Amplissimi Iuris Antecessorum Ordinis in vetustissima & inclyta Basiliensium Academia Pro summo in utroque Iure gradu & privilegiis Doctoralibus consequendis subsequentes Conclusiones de legitimatione liberorum

XXIV.
The third species of legitimation was introduced by the Emperor Theodosius and occurs when a father offers his natural children, either all or some, to the Curiae, or gives his daughters in marriage to Curials.

XXV.
The son himself can also do this.

XXVI.
Although it is doubted whether they ought to be offered to the Curiae of Princes or to the Curiae of Decurions in the municipalities, Theodosius and Valentinian nevertheless decreed and wrote that it obtains in the Curiae of the cities.

XXVII.
These things having been premised, let us see who is correctly legitimated: and because the Interpreters do not agree concerning the names Nothi, Spurii, and Naturales, let us look at them briefly.

IIX.
Nothi bastards, whom the Latins call Naturales, commonly Bastards, as if they were born of "bad art," are those who are born from a concubine.

XXIX.
They are therefore mistaken who call those who are taken from prostitutes and harlots Nothi.

XXX.
Worse are those who teach that these are the "Exposed" abandoned infants.

XXXI.
Spurii illegitimate children of uncertain paternity are those who are born with an uncertain father; such are those whom a mother conceives commonly. For not even these are understood to have a father.
