[ULPIANUS libro duodecimo ad edictum. ] §4.6.17.prIulianus libro quarto scribit non solum aduersus possessorem hereditatis succurrendum militi, uerum aduersus eos quoque, qui a possessore emerunt, ut uindicari res possint, si miles hereditatem adgnouerit: quod si non adgnouerit, ex post facto usucapionem processisse manifestatur.
[ULPIANUS libro duodecimo ad edictum.] Iulianus writes in his fourth book that relief should be granted to a soldier not only against the possessor of an inheritance, but also against those who have purchased from the possessor, so that the property can be vindicated if the soldier accepts the inheritance; but if he does not accept it, it is clear that the usucapion has proceeded ex post facto.
§4.6.17.1Eum quoque cui sic legatum sit: 'uel in annos singulos, quibus in Italia esset', restituendum, ut capiat, atque si in Italia fuisset, et Labeo scribit et Iulianus libro quarto et Pomponius libro trigensimo primo probant: non enim dies actionis exit, ubi praetoris auxilium necessarium erat, sed condicio in causa est.
Labeo writes, and Iulianus in his fourth book and Pomponius in his thirty-first book approve, that a person to whom a legacy was left in these terms, "or for each year in which he should be in Italy," should also be restored, so that he may receive it just as if he had been in Italy. For it is not the period for bringing the action that expires, where the assistance of the praetor was necessary, but the condition is the obstacle.
