This section explains how inheritance-related security documents should be kept by the majority heir, how other heirs should obtain verified copies by giving security, and what procedures (lots, a neutral friend, or a temple) must be followed if the shares are equal.
[GAIUS libro septimo ad edictum prouinciale.]
[GAIUS, on the Provincial Edict, book 7]
Si quae sunt cautiones hereditariae, eas iudex curare debet ut apud eum maneant, qui maiore ex parte heres sit, ceteri descriptum et recognitum1 faciant, cautione interposita, ut, cum res exegerit, ipsae exhibeantur.2 si omnes isdem ex partibus heredes sint nec inter eos conueniat, apud quem potius esse debeant,3 sortiri eos oportet: aut ex consensu uel suffragio eligendus est amicus, apud quem deponantur: uel in aede sacra deponi debent.
If there are any inheritance-related security documents, the judge must see to it that they remain with him who is heir for the greater part, and the others shall make a transcribed and verified copy, providing security that, when the matter requires, the original documents themselves shall be produced. If all are heirs in equal shares and it is not agreed among them with whom they should rather remain, they must draw lots; or a friend must be chosen by consensus or vote, with whom they may be deposited, or they must be deposited in a sacred temple.
- 10.2.5.prdescriptum et recognitum
Functions as the direct object of the verb faciant. This is understood as a nominal use of the perfect passive participles in the neuter (or with the ellipsis of a noun like exemplum), meaning "a transcribed and verified copy."
- 10.2.5.prcautione interposita, ut, cum res exegerit, ipsae exhibeantur
The ut clause functions as an appositive noun clause specifying the content of the cautione in the ablative absolute cautione interposita ("with security being provided"). cum res exegerit is an embedded temporal/conditional clause in the future perfect indicative or perfect subjunctive.
- 10.2.5.prapud quem potius esse debeant
An indirect question clause serving as the subject (or substantive complement) of the impersonal verb conueniat, taking the subjunctive present debeant. potius means "rather" or "preferably."
