Ad edictum praetoris urbani libri
Ex libro II
Dig. 34,4,5Gaius libro secundo ad edictum urbicum. Sicut adimi legatum potest, ita et ad alium transferri, veluti hoc modo: ‘quod Titio legavi, id Seio do lego’: quae res in personam Titii tacitam ademptionem continet.
Gaius, On the Urban Edict, Book II. Just as a legacy can be taken away from one person, so also it can be transferred to another, for instance, as follows: “I give and bequeath to Seius what I have bequeathed to Titius.” This clause contains a tacit deprivation of the legacy, so far as Titius personally is concerned.
