Ad Plautium libri
Ex libro XI
Dig. 30,85Paulus libro undecimo ad Plautium. Duobus coniunctim fundus erat legatus: alter ex his partis aestimationem per actionem personalem abstulit. alter si fundum totum vindicare velit, exceptione doli pro parte dimidia repellitur, quia defunctus semel ad eos legatum pervenire voluit.
Paulus, On Plautius, Book XI. A tract of land was devised to two persons conjointly; one of them, by a personal action, obtained the appraised value of half the property, the other, if he desired to bring suit for all the land, can be barred by an exception on the ground of bad faith with reference to half of it; because the deceased wished the legacy to come into their hands only once.
Dig. 50,17,175Idem libro undecimo ad Plautium. In his, quae officium per liberas fieri personas leges desiderant, servus intervenire non potest. 1Non debeo melioris condicionis esse, quam auctor meus, a quo ius in me transit.
The Same, On Plautius, Book XI. A slave cannot perform any duty which the laws require to be performed by persons who are free. 1I should not be in any better condition than the person from whom I derive my rights.
