[ULPIANUS libro uicensimo octauo ad edictum. ] §46.3.27.prEtiam circa stipulationem et ex testamento actionem, si res tradita fuerit quae debebatur, quamdiu aliquid iuri rei deest, adhuc tamen ipsa res petenda est: ut puta possum fundum petere, licet mihi traditus sit, si ius quoddam cautionis supererit.
[ULPIAN in the twenty-eighth book on the Edict.] Also regarding a stipulation and an action based on a will, if the thing which was owed has been delivered, as long as something is lacking from the right to the thing, the thing itself must nevertheless still be claimed: as, for example, I can claim a tract of land, although it has been delivered to me, if some right of guarantee remains.
