[GAIUS libro sexto ad edictum prouinciale. ] §5.3.3.prueluti si eam personam, quae in nostra potestate sit, institutam iusserimus adire hereditatem: sed et si Titio, qui Seio heres extitit, nos heredes facti sumus, sicuti Titii hereditatem nostram esse intendere possumus, ita et Seii) uel ab intestato (forte quod sui heredes defuncto sumus, uel adgnati, uel quod manumisimus defunctum, quodue parens noster manumiserit).
[GAIUS in the sixth book on the Provincial Edict.] as, for example, if we have ordered a person in our power, who has been instituted, to enter upon an inheritance: but also if we have been made heirs to Titius, who stood as heir to Seius, just as we can claim that Titius's inheritance is ours, so also that of Seius) or intestate (for instance, because we are the self-heirs of the deceased, or agnates, or because we have manumitted the deceased, or our parent has manumitted him).
nouo iure fiunt heredes omnes qui ex senatus consultis aut ex constitutionibus ad hereditatem uocantur.
Under the new law, all those who are called to an inheritance by senatusconsults or constitutions become heirs.
