[ULPIANUS libro trigensimo octauo ad edictum. ] §13.1.12.prEt ideo eleganter Marcellus definit libro septimo: ait enim: si res mihi subrepta tua remaneat, condices.
[ULPIANUS, in his thirty-eighth book on the Edict.] And therefore Marcellus elegantly defines in his seventh book; for he says: if a thing stolen from me remains yours, you will bring a condictio.
sed et si dominium non tuo facto amiseris, aeque condices.
But also if you have lost ownership not by your own act, you will equally bring a condictio.
§13.1.12.1In communi igitur re eleganter ait interesse, utrum tu prouocasti communi diuidundo iudicio an prouocatus es, ut, si prouocasti communi diuidundo iudicio, amiseris condictionem, si prouocatus es, retineas.
Therefore, in the case of a common thing, he elegantly says that it makes a difference whether you initiated the action for dividing common property or were sued, so that, if you initiated the action for dividing common property, you have lost the condictio, but if you were sued, you retain it.
§13.1.12.2Neratius libris membranarum Aristonem existimasse refert eum, cui pignori res data sit, incerti condictionem acturum, si ea subrepta sit.
Neratius, in his books of Parchments, reports that Aristo thought that he to whom a thing was given in pledge would bring a condictio for an uncertain amount if it was stolen.
