[IDEM libro nono decimo quaestionum. ] §35.1.73.prTitio fundus, si in Aşiam non uenerit, idem, si peruenerit, Sempronio legatus est.
[THE SAME in the nineteenth book of Questions.] A land was bequeathed to Titius if he should not go to Asia, and the same land to Sempronius if he should go.
cum in omnibus condicionibus, quae morte legatariorum finiuntur, receptum est, ut Muciana cautio interponatur, heres cautionem a Titio accepit et fundum ei dedit.
Since it is accepted in all conditions that are terminated by the death of the legatees that the Mucian security is to be interposed, the heir accepted security from Titius and gave him the land.
si postea in Asiam peruenerit, Sempronio heres, quod ex stipulatu cautionis interpositae consequi potest, utili actione praestare cogitur.
If Titius should afterwards reach Asia, the heir is compelled by a beneficial action to perform to Sempronius what he can obtain from the stipulation of the interposed security.
sed si cautio medio tempore defecerit, quae sollicite fuerat exacta, non de suo praestabit heres, sed quia nihil ei potest obici, satis erit actiones praestari.
But if in the meantime the security, which had been carefully exacted, should fail, the heir will not perform from his own property, but since nothing can be imputed to him, it will be sufficient for the actions to be ceded.
si tamen, Titius cum in Asiam uenisset, Sempronius, priusquam legatum accipiat, decesserit, heredi eius deberetur, quod defunctus petere potuit.
If, however, when Titius had come to Asia, Sempronius should die before he receives the legacy, what the deceased could have claimed would be due to his heir.
