Bequest of an Estate Excepting Non-Existent Vineyards

Passage 4668 of 9271 · Latin

Summary

Paulus explains that if a specific estate is bequeathed excepting the vineyards that exist at the testator's death, and no such vineyards exist at that time, nothing is deducted from the legacy.

[PAULUS libro quadragesimo octauo ad edictum. ] §30.1.72.prSi quis legauerit fundum Cornelianum exceptis uineis, quae mortis eius tempore erunt, si nullae uineae erunt, legato nihil decedit.
[PAULUS, Book 48 on the Edict.] If anyone has bequeathed the Cornelian estate, excepting the vineyards which shall exist at the time of his death, if there are no vineyards, nothing is deducted from the bequest.

Notes

  1. 30.1.72.prexceptis uineis — An ablative absolute construction consisting of the noun uinea and the perfect participle exceptus, expressing the condition or exception of the vineyards.
  2. 30.1.72.prlegato — Dative (or ablative of separation) of the neuter noun legatum (bequest/legacy), functioning as a complement to decedere (to be deducted/lost) to mean 'from the bequest'.
