Regulariter definiendum est eum demum teneri1 petitione hereditatis, qui uel ius pro herede uel pro possessore possidet2 uel rem hereditariam
As a rule, it should be defined that only he is liable to the petition for inheritance, who possesses either a right as heir or as possessor, or an inheritance property.
- 5.3.9.prteneri
Present passive infinitive of teneo (to bind, hold liable), forming an accusative-with-infinitive (Aci) construction with the accusative eum as its subject. In legal contexts, it means 'to be held liable' or 'to be sued' in an action.
- 5.3.9.prius pro herede uel pro possessore possidet
The objects of possidet (possesses) are ius (right) and rem hereditariam (inheritance property). The phrases pro herede (as heir) and pro possessore (as possessor) indicate the legal capacity or title under which the possession is held.
