[POMPONIUS libro primo senatus consultorum. ] §29.2.99.prAristo in decretis Frontianis ita refert: Cum duae filiae patri necessariae heredes exstitissent, altera se paterna abstinuerat hereditate, altera bona paterna uindicare totumque onus suscipere parata erat.
[POMPONIUS, from the first book of the Senate's Resolutions.] Aristo reports as follows in the decrees of Frontinus: When two daughters had become necessary heirs to their father, one of them had abstained from her father's inheritance, and the other was prepared to claim her father's property and to undertake the entire liability.
sanctum Cassium praetorem causa cognita actiones hereditarias utiles daturum recte pollicitum ei, quae ad hereditatem patris accesserat denegaturumque ei quae se abstinuerat.
The venerable praetor Cassius, after examining the case, rightly promised that he would grant useful hereditary actions to her who had entered upon the father's inheritance, and would deny them to her who had abstained.
