| Quotation |
Si quis alii wadiam dederit et voluerit eam per fedeiussores unum duo vel tres et ipse dixerit “quia nescio qui sint” ut damnum ei facere possit tunc adducere ei debeat fideiussorem aut de illa civitate unde ipse est qui wadiam dedit aut de illa unde ipsa est qui suscepit… |
| Translation |
If anyone gives a wadiam (pledge) to another man and wishes to recover it through fedeiussores (sureties) and for that purpose he offers one, two, or three sureties to him who received the pledge, and if that one says, "I do not know who these men are," and this fact could cause him damage: the man who is offering the surety ought to provide a surety either from his own district or from the district from which he who received the pledge comes….

| Summary |
Liutprand, No. 38 addresses the situation where a person who has given a pledge (wadiam) comes to retrieve it, and brings one, two or three sureties (fedeiussores), but the person who is holding the pledge does not know who the sureties are. The law establishes that new sureties who are known to him should be obtained from either of their districts. |
