Ulpian explains that the Aquilian stipulation novates and extinguishes all prior obligations and is itself extinguished by acceptilatio, and that this rule applies even to conditional legacies.
[ULPIANUS libro quadragensimo sexto ad Sabinum.]
[ULPIAN in the forty-sixth book on Sabinus.]
Aquiliana stipulatio omnimodo omnes praecedentes obligationes nouat et peremit ipsaque peremitur per acceptilationem: et hoc iure utimur.1 ideoque etiam legata sub condicione relicta2 in stipulationem Aquilianam deducuntur.
The Aquilian stipulation in every way novates and extinguishes all prior obligations, and it is itself extinguished by an acceptilatio; and this is the rule we apply. And therefore, even legacies left under a condition are brought into the Aquilian stipulation.
- 2.15.4.prhoc iure utimur
The verb utor (here in the first-person plural present utimur), which governs the ablative case, takes hoc iure as its object. This is a common formulaic expression used by Roman jurists to indicate that the described rule is the established law or practice.
- 2.15.4.prlegata sub condicione relicta
The perfect participle relicta modifies the neuter plural noun legata (nominative, serving as the subject of deducuntur), meaning "legacies left under a condition." It demonstrates that even future or uncertain obligations can be the subject of the Aquilian stipulation designed for comprehensive novation.
