[POMPONIUS libro uicensimo secundo ad Sabinum. ] §36.1.22.prHeres cum debuerat quartam retinere, totam hereditatem restituit nec cauit sibi stipulatione proposita.
[POMPONIUS in the twenty-second book on Sabinus.] An heir, when he ought to have retained the fourth part, restored the entire inheritance, and did not secure himself by the proposed stipulation.
similem eum esse Aristo ait illis, qui retentiones, quas solas habent, omittunt: sed posse cum rerum hereditariarum possessionem uel repetere uel nancisci et aduersus agentem doli mali exceptione uti posse eum et debitoribus denuntiare, ne solueretur.
Aristo says that he is similar to those who forfeit the rights of retention, which are the only ones they have; but that he can either recover or obtain possession of the hereditary property, and can use the plea of fraud against one who sues, and notify the debtors that payment should not be made.
