This section explains that the possessor of goods obtains the same extent of recovery through the petition for inheritance as a civil heir can obtain through civil actions.
[GAIUS libro sexto ad edictum prouinciale.]
[GAIUS, in the sixth book on the Provincial Edict.]
Per quam hereditatis petitionem1 tantundem consequitur bonorum possessor, quantum superioribus ciuilibus actionibus2 heres consequi potest.
Through this petition for inheritance, the possessor of goods obtains just as much as the heir can obtain by the aforementioned civil actions.
- 5.5.2.prPer quam hereditatis petitionem
The relative pronoun 'quam' at the beginning of the sentence functions as a relative connection (qui linking clauses) and is translated like a demonstrative adjective ('this'). It refers to the petition for inheritance (hereditatis petitio possessoria) granted to the possessor of goods (bonorum possessor) mentioned in the preceding fragment by Ulpian.
- 5.5.2.prsuperioribus ciuilibus actionibus
Ablative, functioning either as an ablative of means or reference. 'superioribus' (preceding/aforementioned) refers to the 'civil actions' (ciuiles actiones) mentioned in the immediately preceding text by Ulpian (5.5.1.pr).
