Justinian I · The Digest of Justinian §28.5.80.pr

Distribution Across Multiple Asses Without Mention of Residue

Passage 4259 of 9271 · Latin

Summary

It prescribes how the shares should be distributed between the co-heirs Maeuius and Titius, assuming multiple inheritances (asses), when no special mention is made of the remaining part.

[IDEM libro primo definitionum. ] §28.5.80.prQuod si non sit reliqui facta mentio, tantundem in altero asse habebit Maeuius quantum Titius in primo.
[THE SAME, Definitions, book 1.] But if no mention has been made of the remainder, Maeuius will have just as much in the second as (inheritance) as Titius has in the first.

Notes

  1. 80.prreliqui — The neuter singular genitive of the adjective reliquus used substantively, functioning as an objective (or limiting) genitive modifying mentio ('mention of the remainder').
  2. 80.prprimo — The noun asse is omitted after in primo, to be supplied from the preceding phrase in altero asse ('in the first [as]').
