[NERATIUS libro sexto membranarum. ] §37.10.9.prQuod Labeo scribit, quotiens suppositus esse dicitur pupillus, cum quo de patris eius hereditate controuersia est, curare praetorem debere, ut is in possessione sit: de eo puto eum uelle intellegi, qui post mortem patris familiae, qui se sine liberis decedere credidit, filius eius esse dici coepit: nam eius, qui adgnitus est ab eo, de cuius bonis quaeritur, iustior in ea re causa est quam postumi.
[NERATIUS libro sexto membranarum.] Regarding what Labeo writes, that whenever a ward, with whom there is a dispute over his father's inheritance, is said to be supposititious, the praetor ought to see to it that he is in possession: I think he wants this to be understood of a person who, after the death of a paterfamilias who believed himself to die without children, began to be said to be his son. For the position in this matter of one who was acknowledged by the person whose property is in question is more justified than that of a posthumous child.
