[MAECIANUS libro decimo fideicommissorum. ] §36.1.73.prOmnes qui de hereditate deliberant desiderante eo, qui suo periculo uelit adiri hereditatem, coguntur adire, sed non statim restituere, sed ut completo tempore deliberationis, si expedire sibi compererint hereditatem, sentiant commodum testamenti eo iure, quo si sponte adissent, sin uero contra onerosam crediderint, restituta ea exonerentur actionibus hereditariis.
[MAECIANUS, On Trusts, Book 10] All persons who are deliberating about an inheritance are compelled to enter upon it at the request of one who wishes the inheritance to be entered upon at his own risk, but not to restore it immediately, but so that, when the period of deliberation is completed, if they find the inheritance to be advantageous to them, they may enjoy the benefit of the testament by the same right as if they had entered upon it voluntarily; but if, on the contrary, they believe it to be burdensome, they may, upon restoring it, be discharged from hereditary actions.
