Summary

It explains that in the action for partition of common property, all shared assets are subject to the litigation unless they have been explicitly excluded by mutual consent.

[IDEM libro septuagensimo quinto ad edictum. ] §10.3.13.prIn iudicium communi diuidundo omnes res ueniunt, nisi si quid fuerit ex communi consensu exceptum nominatim, ne ueniat.
[THE SAME, from the seventy-fifth book on the Edict.] All properties come into the action for partition of common property, unless something has been expressly excepted by common consent so that it should not so come.

Notes

  1. §10.3.13.priudicium communi diuidundo — communi dividundo is composed of the neuter singular dative of the gerundive ('for dividing common property'), which functions to qualify the type of action (iudicium), serving as a standard legal formula in Roman law.
  2. §10.3.13.prne ueniat — A negative purpose clause with the subjunctive present third-person singular, modifying exceptum to express the intention or purpose of the exception ('so that it should not come into the action'). The subject refers to the indefinite excluded item (quid).
