[MAECIANUS libro septimo fideicommissorum. ] §40.5.42.prAntoninus Augustus Pius noster, quo militum suorum per omnia rata esset uoluntas suprema, cum et institutus et substitutus in continenti, priusquam adirent hereditatem, decessissent, eos, quibus ab his et libertas et hereditas a milite per fideicommissum data esset, perinde liberos et heredes esse iussit, ac si utrumque directo accepissent.
[MAECIANUS in the seventh book on fideicommissa.] Our Emperor Antoninus Augustus Pius, in order that the last will of his soldiers might be valid in all respects, ordered that, when both the instituted and the substituted heir had died immediately, before they entered upon the inheritance, those to whom both freedom and the inheritance had been given by the soldier through a fideicommissum from them, should be equally free and heirs, as if they had received both directly.
eorum autem, qui a pagano libertatem et hereditatem per fideicommissum acceperant, cum aeque in continenti et institutus et substitutus decessissent, satis habuit libertatem confirmare.
However, in the case of those who had received freedom and the inheritance through a fideicommissum from a pagan, when likewise both the instituted and the substituted heir had died immediately, he was content to confirm only their freedom.
