Dig. 28,5,40Libro trigesimo digestorum Iuliani Marcellus notat: Immo et id debet praestari, quod consequi venditor non potuisset, si prius, quam adiret servus partem hereditatis, is traditus esset: quod est verum.
as Marcellus observes in the Thirtieth Book of the Digest of Julianus, and he holds that he ought to surrender this because the vendor could not recover it if the slave had been delivered before he entered upon his share of the estate, which opinion is correct.
