[ULPIANUS libro uicensimo septimo ad edictum. ] §13.3.1.prQui certam pecuniam numeratam petit, illa actione utitur 'si certum petetur': qui autem alias res, per triticiariam condictionem petet.
[ULPIANUS, On the Edict, Book XXVII] He who claims a certain sum of numbered cash uses that action 'if a certain sum is claimed'; but he who claims other things will claim them through the triticarian condictio.
et generaliter dicendum est eas res per hanc actionem peti, si quae sint praeter pecuniam nueratam, siue in pondere siue in mensura constent, siue mobiles sint siue soli quare fundum quoque per hanc actionem petimus et si uectigalis sit siue ius stipulatus quis sit, ueluti usum fructum uel seruitutem utrorumque praediorum.
And generally it must be said that those things are claimed through this action, if there be any besides numbered cash, whether they consist in weight or in measure, whether they are movable or of the soil; wherefore we also claim land through this action, even if it be subject to tax, or if someone has stipulated for a right, such as a usufruct or a servitude of either kind of estate.
§13.3.1.1Rem autem suam per hanc actionem nemo petet, nisi ex causis ex quibus potest, ueluti ex causa furtiua uel ui mobili abrepta.
But no one shall claim his own property through this action, except on the grounds from which it is possible, as for instance on the ground of theft or of a movable property taken by force.
