Code of Justinian: Concerning Jews and Samaritans or Heretics

That Jews and Samaritans or heretics shall not be liberated from their curial condition on account of their religion, but that they shall indeed be subject to curial duties without enjoying the privileges of curials; that they may, however, give testimony against the orthodox who are subject to the curial condition, since they may also give testimony in favor of an orthodox state.2

The Codex Justinianus (Latin for “The Code of Justinian”) is one part of the Corpus Juris Civilis, the codification of Roman law ordered early in the 6th century AD by Justinian I, who was an Eastern Roman (Byzantine) emperor in Constantinople. Two other units, the Digest and the Institutes, were created during his reign. The fourth part, the Novellae Constitutiones (New Constitutions, or Novels), was compiled unofficially after his death but is now thought of as part of the Corpus Juris Civilis.
