    Table XI: Supplementary Laws

    Intermarriage shall not take place between plebeians and patricians.

    Table XII: Supplementary Laws

    Levying of distress [is granted] against a person who has bought an animal for sacrifice and is a defaulter by non-payment; likewise against a person who is a defaulter by non-payment of fee for yokebeast which any one has hired out for the purpose of raising therefrom money to spend on a sacred banquet.20
    If a slave shall have committed theft or done damage... with his master's knowledge... the action for damages is in the slave's name.
    Arising from delicts committed by children and slaves of a household establishment... actions for damages are appointed whereby the father or master could be allowed either to undergo 'assessment for damages," or hand over the delinquent to punishment...
    If a person has taken a thing by false claim, if he should wish... official must grant three arbitrators; by their arbitration... defendant must make good the damage by paying double the usufruct of the article.
    It is prohibited to dedicate for consecrated use anything about which there is a controversy; otherwise the penalty is double the amount involved...
    Whatever the people has last ordained shall be held a binding by law.

    20In such cases seizure of some articles of property by pignoris capio, "Seizure of pledge," to induce payment was permitted.
