[ULPIANUS libro nono decimo ad edictum. ] §10.2.12.prEt post litem contestatam Sabinus scribit in familiae erciscundae iudicium uenire et adiudicari posse.
[ULPIANUS, On the Edict, book 19] Sabinus writes that even after the joinder of issue, [the offspring] can come into the action for the division of an inheritance and be adjudged.
§10.2.12.1Idem erit et si seruis hereditariis ab extraneo aliquid datum sit.
The same will hold true even if something has been given by a stranger to the slaves of the inheritance.
§10.2.12.2Res, quae sub condicione legata est, interim heredum est et ideo uenit in familiae erciscundae iudicium et adiudicari potest cum sua scilicet causa, ut existente condicione eximatur ab eo cui adiudicata est aut deficiente condicione ad eos reuertatur a quibus relicta est.
A thing which has been bequeathed under a condition belongs to the heirs in the meantime, and therefore comes into the action for the division of an inheritance, and can be adjudged, of course with its own condition; so that if the condition is fulfilled, it may be taken away from the person to whom it was adjudged, or if the condition fails, it may return to those by whom it was left.
idem et in statulibero dicitur, qui interim est heredum, existente autem condicione ad libertatem perueniat.
The same is also said of a statuliber, who in the meantime belongs to the heirs, but when the condition is fulfilled, attains his freedom.
