Scope of Properties Bequeathed as One's Own

Summary

Paulus states that the same rule of interpretation regarding slaves should apply to all properties bequeathed by anyone as 'one's own'.

[PAULUS libro quarto ad Sabinum. ] §32.0.72.prEadem in omnibus rebus, quas suas quis legauerit, dicenda sunt.
[PAULUS, from his fourth book on Sabinus.] The same things must be said in the case of all things which anyone has bequeathed as his own.

Notes

  1. §32.0.72.prquas suas quis legauerit — The relative pronoun quas (with omnibus rebus as its antecedent) and the adjective suas stand in a predicate or appositive relationship, meaning 'which as one's own'. quis is an indefinite pronoun meaning 'anyone' or 'each', and the verb legauerit is in the future perfect indicative or perfect subjunctive, representing a hypothetical condition in a testament.
