Gaius explains various ways of becoming an heir, including ordering a dependent to accept, succeeding another heir, intestate succession, and individuals designated under the new law by senatusconsults or constitutions.
[GAIUS libro sexto ad edictum prouinciale.]
[GAIUS in the sixth book on the Provincial Edict.]
ueluti si eam personam, quae in nostra potestate sit, institutam1 iusserimus adire hereditatem: sed et si Titio, qui Seio heres extitit, nos heredes facti sumus, sicuti Titii hereditatem nostram esse intendere possumus, ita et Seii) uel ab intestato (forte quod sui heredes defuncto2 sumus, uel adgnati, uel quod manumisimus defunctum, quodue parens noster manumiserit). nouo iure fiunt heredes omnes qui ex senatus consultis aut ex constitutionibus ad hereditatem uocantur.
as, for example, if we have ordered a person in our power, who has been instituted, to enter upon an inheritance: but also if we have been made heirs to Titius, who stood as heir to Seius, just as we can claim that Titius’s inheritance is ours, so also that of Seius) or intestate (for instance, because we are the self-heirs of the deceased, or agnates, or because we have manumitted the deceased, or our parent has manumitted him). Under the new law, all those who are called to an inheritance by senatusconsults or constitutions become heirs.
- 5.3.3.prinstitutam
Perfect passive participle in the accusative, modifying the preceding noun phrase 'eam personam' and functioning as the subject accusative of the infinitive 'adire'.
- 5.3.3.prdefuncto
Dative singular, dependent on 'sui heredes' and expressing the relation ('self-heirs to the deceased').
