This chunk explains the requirements for bringing a recovery action for land acquired through purchase, and the exception allowing an heir to bring an action for inherited property even before gaining physical possession.
[CALLISTRATUS libro secundo edicti monitorii.]
[CALLISTRATUS in the second book of the Cautionary Edict.]
Si ager ex emptionis causa ad aliquem pertineat, non recte hac actione agi poterit,1 antequam traditus sit ager tuncque2 possessio amissa sit.
If land should belong to someone by virtue of a purchase, proceedings cannot properly be brought under this action before the land has been delivered and then its possession has been lost.
Sed heres de eo quod hereditati obuenerit recte aget, etiamsi possessionem eius adhuc non habuerit.
But an heir will properly bring an action for what has accrued to the inheritance, even if he has not yet held possession of it.
- 6.1.50.pragi poterit
A combination of the passive infinitive agi of the verb agere (to bring an action) and the future auxiliary poterit (will be able). It is understood as an impersonal passive construction ("proceedings can be brought"), rather than taking ager (land) as its subject, used in combination with the ablative of means hac actione.
- 6.1.50.prtuncque
Composed of the adverb tunc (then, thereafter) and the enclitic conjunction -que (and). It connects the two clauses introduced by antequam (traditus sit ager and possessio amissa sit), indicating not merely co-occurrence but a chronological sequence: possession is lost "only after" the delivery of the land has been completed.
