Fideicommissorum libri
Ex libro IV
Dig. 36,1,74Pomponius libro quarto fideicommissorum. Heres praecepto fundo rogatus erat hereditatem restituere: fundus alienus erat. Aristo aiebat videndum, utrum omnimodo penes heredem fundum esse voluit testator an ita demum, si ipsius est: sed sibi superius placere: ideoque aestimatio eius retinenda est.
Pomponius, Trusts, Book IV. When an heir was charged to transfer an estate, after reserving a certain tract of land which belonged to someone else, Aristo says that it should be ascertained whether the testator intended that the said land should belong absolutely to the heir, or only in case it was ascertained to belong to himself. He holds that the former opinion should be adopted, and therefore that the estimated value of the land should be reserved from the estate.
