Justinian I · The Digest of Justinian §43.16.2.pr
Liability of Heirs for Property Lost through Fraud
Summary
This section specifies that the liability of heirs and successors also extends to cases where the property failed to reach them due to their own fraud.
Notes
- 43.16.2.prquo minus perueniret — The conjunction `quo minus` with the imperfect subjunctive `perueniret` is used after expressions of hindrance or prevention (here, `doloue malo eorum factum est`, implying that their fraud prevented the property from reaching them) to express a negative result ("that... not"). This clause grammatically corresponds to and is in apposition with the phrase `in id quod ad eos peruenit` ("to the extent that it reached them") at the end of the preceding fragment (D. 43.16.1.48).
