{20} The use of appraisers, referred to here and elsewhere, indicates that fines and debts were paid regularly in kind, and that money was still an unfamiliar convenience. {21} That is, the delinquent is to be given the full legal day, and when that has passed with the setting of the sun, the penalty is incurred. It is interesting to notice the same feature in the law of the XII Tables, which was apparently merely the primitive tribal law of the early Romans reduced to written form. There, in the first table, the description of a public court process ends with the sentence: "Sol occasus suprema tempestas esto"--sunset is to be the latest hour [of the legal day]. {22} _Rachinburgii_ is the name generally used in the law for the board of judges, seven in number, who are chosen at every hundred-court to render the judgment (see title LVI). Here, however, the term is used for appraisers who apparently are not connected with the _rachinburgii_ of the hundred-court. {23} The _fredus_ is that portion of the fine which goes to the state, apparently as compensation for executing the sentence. It furnished a part at once of the royal revenues and of the salary of the _grafio_, since half went to him and half to the royal treasury. LII. _Property that has been Loaned._ If one has loaned anything of his goods to another, and that person will not restore it to him, he shall sue for it in this way: He shall go with witnesses to the house of him to whom he loaned his property and serve this notice on him: "Since you will not restore to me my goods which I have loaned to you, you may keep them until the following night, in accordance with the Salic law."{24} And if still he will not restore them, let the sun set on him.{25} If he still will not restore them, the owner is to give him a space of seven nights, and at the end of these seven nights he shall serve notice as before that he may keep them till the following night, in accordance with the Salic law. If then he will not restore them, at the end of another seven nights he is to go with witnesses again and ask him to pay what he owes. If he will not pay, let the sun set on him. But when the sun has set on him three times, for each time 120 denarii (which make 3 solidi) are to be added to the original amount of the debt. And if still he will neither pay nor give pledge of payment, he is to be held liable to him who loaned him the goods for 600 denarii (which make 15 solidi) above the original debt and above the 9 solidi which accrued through the three summons. {24} This is to give the man legal and public notice and to allow him a full day's time in which to obey. The guilt is incurred, therefore, at sunset of the following day. {25} See title L, note 21. LIV. _The Slain Grafio._ 1. If anyone kills a _grafio_{26} he shall pay 24,000 denarii, which make 600 solidi. 2. If anyone kills a _sacebaro_,{27} or an _obgrafio_ who is a king's slave, he shall pay 12,000 denarii, which make 300 solidi.
