Notes
- §28.5.39.prid est partem dimidiam serui et quartam hereditatis — This fragment directly continues the explanation from the end of the previous fragment (D. 28.5.38.5). The accusatives `partem dimidiam` and `quartam` function in connection with the context of what the seller must restore. Specifically, it illustrates how a half share in a slave corresponds to a quarter share of the inheritance.
