Exclusion of Items Delivered and Subsequently Recovered

Passage 4872 of 9271 · Latin

Summary

Explains that even items that have been delivered will not go to the bequest if they are subsequently taken back.

[PAULUS libro quarto ad Sabinum. ] §32.0.48.prNam ne id quidem quod traditum est, si postea ademptum sit, legato cedet.
[PAULUS, from the fourth book on Sabinus.] For not even that which has been delivered, if it should afterwards be taken back, will go to the bequest.

Notes

  1. §32.0.48.prademptum sit — The perfect subjunctive passive third-person singular of the verb adimere (to take away, revoke). In the conditional clause (si), it denotes an action completed prior to the future tense of the main clause (cedet).
  2. §32.0.48.prlegato cedet — The verb cedere (to yield, accrue) takes a dative (here, legato "to the bequest") to mean "to accrue to" or "to go to." cedet is in the future indicative third-person singular.
