Ad Quintum Mucium libri
Ex libro I
Dig. 28,5,67Pomponius libro primo ad Quintum Mucium. Si ita quis heredes instituerit: ‘Titius heres esto: Gaius et Maevius aequis ex partibus heredes sunto’, quamvis et syllaba coniunctionem faciat, si quis tamen ex his decedat, non alteri soli pars adcrescit, sed et omnibus coheredibus pro hereditariis portionibus, quia non tam coniunxisse quam celerius dixisse videatur.
Pomponius, On Quintus Mucius, Book I. If anyone should appoint heirs as follows: “Let Titius be my heir, and let Gaius and Mævius be heirs to equal portions of my estate”; although the word “and” is a conjunction; still, if either of the parties should die, his share will not accrue to the other alone, but to all his co-heirs in proportion to their interest in the estate; because it is held that the testator did not mean to unite the two heirs, but intended to mention them more particularly.
Dig. 34,4,20Pomponius libro primo ad Quintum Mucium. Licet transferam legatum in eum, cum quo nobis testamenti factio non est, sive in servum proprium, cui sine libertate legavero, licet eis non debeatur, nec illi tamen debebitur, cui fuerit ademptum.
Pomponius, On Quintus Mucius, Book I. Although I may transfer a legacy to a person who has not the right to receive it under my will, or bequeath the legacy without the grant of freedom to my own slave, even if they are not entitled to receive it, it will still not be payable to the person who was deprived of the same.
