Discusses the calculation of shares in a joint bequest of usufruct when the testator's heirs and specific multiple beneficiaries are listed together.
[PAULUS libro tertio ad Sabinum.]
[PAULUS from the third book on Sabinus.]
Si quis Attio et heredibus suis1 usum fructum legauerit, dimidiam2 Attius, dimidiam heredes habebunt: quod si ita scriptum sit 'Attio et Seio cum heredibus meis3', tres partes fient, ut unam habeant heredes, tertiam Attius, tertiam Seius: nec enim interest ita legetur 'illi et illi cum Maeulo4' an ita 'illi et illi et Maeulo'.
If anyone bequeaths a usufruct to Attius and his heirs, Attius will have a half, and the heirs a half; but if it is written thus: “to Attius and Seius together with my heirs,” three shares will be made, so that the heirs have one share, Attius a third, and Seius a third; for it makes no difference whether it is bequeathed thus: “to so-and-so and so-and-so together with Maevulus,” or thus: “to so-and-so and so-and-so and Maevulus.”
- 7.2.7.prheredibus suis
The reflexive possessive adjective suis refers back to the subject of the conditional clause, the indefinite pronoun quis (the testator). Thus, it means "his [the testator's] heirs."
- 7.2.7.prdimidiam
The feminine noun partem (share) is omitted, leaving the adjective dimidiam (half) in the accusative case to function as the direct object.
- 7.2.7.prcum heredibus meis
This phrase is a direct quotation of the testamentary wording, so the first-person possessive meis ("my heirs") is used from the testator's perspective. Legally, it refers to the same entities as heredibus suis in the preceding sentence.
- 7.2.7.prnec enim interest ita legetur 'illi et illi cum Maeulo' an ita 'illi et illi et Maeulo'
nec interest is an impersonal construction meaning "it makes no difference," which introduces an indirect alternative question with an. legetur is the future indicative (or in some manuscripts the subjunctive legatur), expressing the equivalence of the wording in a bequest.
