| Quotation |
Si quis iudex aut actor puplicus in qualicumque civitatem aut locum inter homenis qui aliquam discordiam habent treuvas tulerit et unus ex ipsis hominibus inter quos ipsas treuvas tulta sunt eas ruperit medietatem de ipsas treuvas conponat in puplico et medietatem illi cuius causa est. Et ipsas treuvas non sint minus quam solidi ducenti qui autem amplius forsitan pro maioribus causis ponere voluerit sit ei licentiam. |
| Translation |
If the judge or other public official of a district exacts an agreement between two men who have some quarrel, sets a treuvas [a penalty for breach], and if one of the men between whom the agreement was made breaks it, he who broke the agreement shall pay half of the amount stated in the agreement into the public treasury as composition, and half to him whose case it is. The amount set in the agreement shall not be less than 200 solidi; however, those who wish to set the amount higher in more important cases may do so.

| Summary |
Liutprand, No. 42 establishes that if a judge or other public legal official establishes a peace between two quarreling men, confirmed by a monetary penalty, and one of the men breaks the peace, then he must pay half the composition to the legal official and half to theother party. The law also sets a minimum amount of 200 solidii for such an agreement, but allows higher amounts to be set for more significant situations. |
