Explains the difference between a petition for inheritance and an action for partition of an inheritance, stating that the former cannot dissolve co-ownership but only recover an undivided share.

[IULIANUS libro octauo digestorum.]
Non possumus consequi per hereditatis petitionem id quod familiae erciscundae iudicio consequimur, ut a communione discedamus,1 cum ad officium iudicis nihil amplius pertineat, quam ut partem hereditatis pro indiuiso restitui mihi iubeat.2
We cannot attain through a petition for inheritance that which we attain by an action for partition of an inheritance, namely, that we depart from co-ownership, since nothing more belongs to the office of the judge than that he should order an undivided share of the inheritance to be restored to me.
- 5.4.7.prut a communione discedamus
This is an appositive ut clause (noun clause) explaining the preceding demonstrative pronoun id (or the substance of id quod... consequimur).
- 5.4.7.prnihil amplius... quam ut... iubeat
A construction of nihil... quam ('nothing more... than') triggered by the comparative amplius, where the ut... iubeat clause serves as the object of comparison. The infinitive restitui following iubeat is passive, functioning in an accusative and infinitive construction governed by iubeat.
