If a slave, of either sex, in order to defraud his or her master, should expose and abandon their own child, without the knowledge of said master, and anyone should bring it up, the latter shall be entitled to receive the third part of its value; but, under such circumstances, the master must swear or prove that he was ignorant that his slave had abandoned the child. If, however, it should be shown that the master was aware of the fact, the child shall become the slave of him who reared it. =III. What Compensation for Support anyone shall Receive for the Bringing up of a Child committed to his Care by its Parents.= If anyone should accept from its parents a little child to be reared, he shall receive as compensation one _solidus_ every year, until the child has reached the age of ten; but he shall be entitled to no further compensation after it has completed its tenth year, because after that time the services of the child should be sufficient to pay for its support. And if he who seeks to take the child again should be unwilling to pay this sum, it shall be held in slavery by him who reared it. TITLE V.
