[SCAEUOLA libro secundo responsorum. ] §2.15.14.prControuersia inter legitimum et scriptum heredem orta est eaque transactione facta certa lege finita est: quaero creditores quem conuenire possunt? respondit, si idem creditores essent, qui transactionem fecissent, id obseruandum de aere alieno, quod inter eos conuenisset: si alii creditores essent, propter incertum successionis pro parte hereditatis, quam uterque in transactione expresserit, utilibus actionibus conueniendus est.
[SCAEVOLA in the second book of Responses.] A dispute arose between the legal heir and the appointed heir, and, a compromise having been made, it was ended under a certain term. I ask: whom can the creditors sue? He answered: if the creditors were the same persons who had made the compromise, that which had been agreed between them concerning the debt must be observed; if they were other creditors, because of the uncertainty of the succession, each of them must be sued by analogous actions for the share of the inheritance which each of them specified in the compromise.
