[PAPINIANUS libro uicensimo octauo quaestionum. ] §12.6.3.prIdem est et si solutis legatis noua et inopinata causa hereditatem abstulit, ueluti nato postumo, quem heres in utero fuisse ignorabat, uel etiam ab hostibus reuerso filio, quem pater obisse falso praesumpserat: nam utiles actiones postumo uel filio, qui hereditatem euicerat, dari oportere in eos, qui legatum perceperunt, imperator Titus Antoninus rescripsit, scilicet quod bonae fidei possessor in quantum locupletior factus est tenetur nec periculum huiusmodi nominum ad eum, qui sine culpa soluit, pertinebit.
[PAPINIANUS, Questions, book 28.] The same is true if, after legacies have been paid, a new and unexpected cause has taken away the inheritance, for example, by the birth of a posthumous child whom the heir did not know to be in the womb, or even by the return from the enemy of a son whom the father had falsely presumed to have died. For the Emperor Titus Antoninus replied in a rescript that useful actions ought to be granted to the posthumous child or to the son who had recovered the inheritance, against those who had received the legacy; that is to say, because a possessor in good faith is liable only to the extent that he has been enriched, and the risk of claims of this kind will not belong to him who paid without fault.
