[IULIANUS libro uicensimo octauo digestorum. ] §38.15.4.prSi coheredi tuo substitutus fuisses et bonorum possessionem acceperis, quandoque coheres tuus constituerit nolle petere bonorum possessionem, tibi data tota intellegitur, coheres tuus amplius petendae bonorum possessionis facultatem non habebit.
[JULIANUS, from the twenty-eighth book of the Digests.] If you had been substituted for your co-heir and have accepted the possession of goods, whenever your co-heir has decided that he does not want to seek the possession of goods, it is understood to be given to you in its entirety, and your co-heir will no longer have the power of seeking the possession of goods.
§38.15.4.1Filius non solum si tamquam filius,sed et si tamquam adgnatus uel tamquam cognatus ad bonorum possessionem uocatur, annuum spatium habet: sicuti pater, qui filium manumisisset, quamuis ut manumissor bonorum possessionem accipiat, tamen ad bonorum possessionem accipiendam annuum spatium habet.
A son has a space of a year, not only if he is called to the possession of goods as a son, but also if as an agnate or as a cognate; just like a father who had manumitted his son, although he receives the possession of goods as a manumissor, nevertheless has a space of a year to accept the possession of goods.
