[PAPINIANUS libro uicesimo quaestionum. ] §35.2.93.prAcceptis a Maeuio centum hereditatem Maeuio restituere pecuniamque post mortem suam Titio dare rogatus est.
[PAPINIANUS, Questions, Book 20] An heir was requested, after receiving one hundred from Maevius, to restore the inheritance to Maevius, and to give the money to Titius after his own death.
quamquam haec centum quartam bonorum efficiant, tamen propter fideicommissum sequens quartae retentioni locus erit: tunc enim ex constitutione diui Hadriani Falcidiae satisfacit ea quantitas, cum apud heredem remanet.
Although this one hundred makes up a fourth of the property, nevertheless, on account of the subsequent trust-bequest, there will be room for the retention of the fourth: for then, according to the constitution of the divine Hadrian, that amount satisfies the Falcidian portion only when it remains with the heir.
sed Falcidiam patietur solus cui hereditas relicta est: nam in centum, quae mortis causa capiuntur, admitti Falcidia non potest.
But only he to whom the inheritance was left will suffer the Falcidian deduction: for in the case of the one hundred which are taken on account of death, the Falcidian law cannot be admitted.
plane si quis ita scribsit: 'acceptis centum peto restituas hereditatem' neque personam dantis demonstrauerit, quasi retentam et praeceptam pecuniam, si quartae sufficiat, inducere Trebellianum.
Clearly, if someone wrote thus: 'having received one hundred, I ask you to restore the inheritance' and did not indicate the person of the giver, the money is as if it were retained and taken in advance, and if it suffices for the fourth, it brings in the Trebellian senate-consult.
