Notes

  1. 42.8.11.prin id quod ad heredem peruenit — The preposition `in` defines the scope or limit of the action (`actionem`). It indicates that the liability of the heir under this fraud-revoking action (or action on the facts) is restricted to the extent of the enrichment (`id`) that actually came to the heir from the deceased's fraud.
