Summary

Explain that the Carbonian possession of property, on condition of security being given, is effective not only for acquiring possession but also for recovering assets, demanding debts, and the collation of property, dowries, and other items.

[HERMOGENIANUS libro tertio iuris epitomarum. ] §37.10.15.prHaec bonorum possessio, si satis datum sit, non tantum ad possessionem apiscendam, sed ad res etiam persequendas et debitum exigendum et collationem bonorum et dotis et omnium quae conferri diximus prodest.
[HERMOGENIANUS libro tertio iuris epitomarum.] This possession of property, if security has been given, is of benefit not only for acquiring possession, but also for recovering assets, demanding payment of debts, and the collation of property, of dowry, and of all things which we have said must be collated.

Notes

  1. §37.10.15.prsi satis datum sit — A conditional clause employing the passive third-person singular perfect subjunctive of satisdare (to give security) impersonally, meaning "if sufficient security has been given."
  2. §37.10.15.prad possessionem apiscendam ... ad res etiam persequendas et debitum exigendum — A sequence of gerundive constructions introduced by the preposition ad, expressing purpose or scope ("for acquiring possession," "for pursuing assets," "for demanding debts"), which modify the predicate verb prodest.
  3. §37.10.15.prcollationem bonorum et dotis et omnium quae conferri diximus — Collationem is an accusative noun coordinated under the preposition ad, governed by the genitives bonorum, dotis, and omnium. The relative clause quae conferri diximus modifies omnium, with conferri functioning as a passive infinitive dependent on diximus, meaning "which we have said must be collated."
