Description
Short rescript (written answer) of the Emperor Gordian, directing that failure to register children should not deprive them of their right to legitimacy.
Translation: The deified Gordian Augustus to Nero Pudens. The omission to register children does not render them illegitimate, if they are legitimate, nor, if there are actually registers, can they introduce outsiders into the family. July 8, in the consulship of Gordian and Aviola.
