This section explains that even if ownership is expected to be lost in the future upon the fulfillment of a condition for a legacy or freedom, the right to bring an action for recovery of the property at present remains fully valid.
[PAULUS libro secundo quaestionum.]
[PAULUS in the second book of Questions.]
Non ideo minus recte quid1 nostrum esse uindicabimus,2 quod3 abire a nobis dominium speratur, si condicio legati uel libertatis extiterit.
We shall not on that account any less rightly claim that something is ours, because it is expected that the ownership will depart from us if the condition of a legacy or of freedom should be fulfilled.
- 6.1.66.prquid
The indefinite pronoun aliquid with the prefix ali- omitted, meaning "something".
- 6.1.66.prquid nostrum esse uindicabimus
The verb uindicare refers to the action of claiming ownership (rei vindicatio) in Roman law. The phrase quid nostrum esse ("that something is ours") functions as the object of uindicabimus, meaning "we shall claim that something is ours (and demand its return)."
- 6.1.66.prNon ideo minus recte ... quod
This indicates a correlative causal relationship with a partial negation: "not on that account any less... because...". The quod clause provides the reason, which is negated by non ideo minus to assert the validity of the main action.
