Legacy of a Female Slave with Her Children and Absence of Either

Passage 4658 of 9271 · Latin

Summary

This section regulates the validity of a legacy of a female slave with her children when either the slave or the children are missing.

[PAULUS libro quadragesimo primo ad edictum. ] §30.1.62.prSi ancilla cum liberis legata sit, et ancilla sola, si non sint liberi, et liberi soli, si non sit ancilla, debentur.
[PAULUS, Book 41 on the Edict.] If a female slave is bequeathed with her children, the female slave alone, if there are no children, and the children alone, if there is no female slave, are owed.

Notes

  1. 30.1.62.prdebentur — This is a third-person plural verb. Its grammatical subject is a combination of 'ancilla sola' (singular) and 'liberi soli' (plural) connected by 'et... et...'; the verb is in the plural because it agrees either with the nearer plural subject 'liberi' or with the compound subject as a whole.
