Calculation of Shares for Dual Appointed and Substituted Heirs

Passage 4195 of 9271 · Latin

Summary

Julianus explains the basis for calculating Tertius' share if Primus rejects the inheritance, noting that Tertius holds the roles of both appointed and substituted heir.

[IULIANUS libro trigesimo digestorum. ] §28.5.16.prnam Tertium et instituti et substituti personam sustinere, in tres partes institutum uideri, in sex substitutum.
[IULIANUS libro trigesimo digestorum.] for Tertius sustains the persona of both an appointed and a substituted heir, being deemed appointed for three parts, and substituted for six.

Notes

  1. §28.5.16.prnam Tertium ... sustinere — The entire sentence is in the accusative with infinitive (AcI) construction of indirect speech. `Tertium` is the subject accusative, with which the infinitives `sustinere` and `uideri` agree, continuing the indirect discourse from the previous section dependent on `scripsit` or `dicitur`.
  2. §28.5.16.prsubstitutum — The infinitive `uideri` is omitted after `substitutum`, to be understood as `in sex substitutum [uideri]` ("deemed substituted for six parts"). `substitutum` is the perfect participle in the accusative masculine singular, agreeing with the subject `Tertium`.
