[ULPIANUS libro octauo decimo ad legem Iuliam et Papiam. ] §35.2.66.prCirca legem Falcidiam in eo, quod sub condicione uel in diem alicui relictum est, hoc obseruandum est: si decem sub condicione alicui fuerint relicta eaque condicio post decennium forte exstiterit, non uidentur decem huic legata, sed minus decem, quia interuallum temporis et interusurium huius spatii minorem facit quantitatem decem.
[ULPIANUS, in the eighteenth book on the Lex Iulia et Papia.] Concerning the Falcidian law, in regard to that which has been left to someone under a condition or for a specified day, this must be observed: if ten should be left to someone under a condition and that condition should happen to exist after ten years, not ten, but less than ten, are deemed to have been bequeathed to him, because the interval of time and the loss of interest for this period makes the quantity of ten smaller.
§35.2.66.1Sicuti legata non debentur, nisi deducto aere alieno aliquid supersit, nec mortis causa donationes debebuntur, sed infirmantur per aes alienum.
Just as legacies are not due unless something remains after deducting the debts, neither will donations mortis causa be due, but they are invalidated by debt.
quare si immodicum aes alienum interueniat, ex re mortis causa sibi donata nihil aliquis consequitur.
Therefore, if an excessive debt intervenes, no one obtains anything from the thing donated to him mortis causa.
