[PAPINIANUS libro sexto decimo quaestionum. ] §29.4.26.prIulianus scribit patrem, qui filiam sibi substitutam iussit adire hereditatem, legata quae ab ipso data sunt ex sententia edicti praestaturum, quoniam filia patri substituitur in casu, non ut arbitrium eligendi relinquatur: sed si uaria legata supra dodrantem data sint, eorum prius rationem habendam, quae a filia relicta sunt.
[PAPINIANUS, in the sixteenth book of Questions.] Julianus writes that a father, who has ordered his daughter substituted to him to accept the inheritance, must pay the legacies given by himself according to the meaning of the edict, since a daughter is substituted to her father in case of an event, and not so that a freedom of choice is left. But if various legacies have been given exceeding three-fourths, account must first be taken of those which were left by the daughter.
non enim caret dolo pater, qui honore proprio omisso propter compendium alienam institutionem maluit.
For the father is not free from malice, who, having omitted his own honor, preferred the institution of another for the sake of gain.
§29.4.26.1Denique si filiae pater substitutus adiit hereditatem, nihil eum dolo facere Iulianus existimat, quia nemo filiae patrem contra uotum parentium substituere uidetur, sed ut arbitrium eligendi relinquat.
Lastly, if a father substituted to his daughter has accepted the inheritance, Julianus thinks that he does nothing with malice, because no one is deemed to substitute a father to his daughter contrary to the wish of the parents, but rather to leave a freedom of choice.
