Pandectarum libri
Ex libro IX
Dig. 35,2,59Idem libro nono pandectarum. Beneficio legis Falcidiae indignus esse videtur, qui id egerit, ut fideicommissum intercidat. 1Praeterea qui non capienti rogatus est restituere hereditatem, senatus consulto Planciano non conceditur quartam retinere: sed ea quarta, quam non retinuit, ad fiscum pertinet ex rescripto divi Pii.
The Same, Pandects, Book IX. He is considered to be unworthy of the benefit of the Falcidian Law, who acts in such a way as to cause the trust to be extinguished. 1Moreover, where an heir is requested to transfer the estate to some one who is not entitled to receive it, he will not, by the Plancian Decree of the Senate, be permitted to retain the fourth of said estate; but the said fourth, in accordance with a Rescript of the Divine Pius, will belong to the Treasury.
Dig. 38,4,9Idem libro nono pandectarum. Utrum ei tantum qui in potestate sit an etiam emancipato filio adsignare libertum patronus possit, si modo non pauciores quam duos praeterea in potestate habeat, dubitari solet: et magis est posse.
Dig. 50,12,11Idem libro nono pandectarum. Si quis ob honorem vel sacerdotium pecuniam promiserit et antequam honorem vel magistratum ineat, decedet, non oportere heredes eius conveniri in pecuniam, quam is ob honorem vel magistratum promiserat, principalibus constitutionibus cavetur, nisi forte ab eo vel ab ipsa re publica eo vivo opus fuerit inchoatum.
The Same, Pandects, Book IX. When anyone promises a sum of money in consideration of obtaining a magisterial honor or a sacerdotal office, and, before he obtains the honor or enters upon the duties of the office, he dies, his heirs should not be sued for the money which he promised in consideration of the said honor or magistracy. This was provided by the Imperial Constitutions, unless, during his lifetime, the work had been begun either by the person himself, or by the city.
