Summary

Ulpian explains the rule that as long as the prior instituted heir can enter upon the inheritance, the substitute heir cannot do so.

[IDEM libro sexto ad Sabinum. ] §29.2.3.prQuamdiu prior heres institutus hereditatem adire potest, substitutus non potest.
[THE SAME in the sixth book on Sabinus.] As long as the prior instituted heir can enter upon the inheritance, the substitute cannot.

  2. §29.2.3.prnon potest — The main verb phrase, which is understood by supplying the infinitive phrase from the subordinate clause as non potest [hereditatem adire].
