[ULPIANUS libro quadragensimo nono ad edictum. ] §38.14.1.prPraetor ait: 'uti me quaque lege senatus consulto bonorum possessionem dare oportebit, ita dabo'. §38.14.1.1Numquam bonorum possessio, quae ex alia parte edicti adgnita est, impedit istam bonorum possessionem.
[ULPIAN, from the forty-ninth book on the Edict.] The praetor says: "In whatever manner I am required by any law or decree of the senate to grant possession of goods, so shall I grant it." A possession of goods which has been acknowledged under another part of the edict never impedes this possession of goods.
§38.14.1.2Cum ex lege duodecim tabularum quis habet hereditatem, hinc non petit, sed inde 'tum quem ei heredem esse oportet', quippe cum non alias hinc competat bonorum possessio, quam si lex specialiter deferat bonorum possessionem.
When someone has an inheritance under the Law of the Twelve Tables, he does not petition from here, but from there, namely, 'then, the person who ought to be his heir'; since indeed a possession of goods does not apply from here otherwise than if a law specifically confers the possession of goods.
