Note 13 — Chapter V · CONCLUSION.
Reading edition
1º For non-payment of a debt. Here the general treatment of debtors and the extent to which the rights of creditors are acknowledged by the community are worth examining. Debtor-slaves have often, but not always, a right to become free by paying off the debt13. In some cases the creditor does not keep the debtor as a slave, but recovers his money by selling him abroad14.
