Ad legem Iuliam et Papiam libri
Ex libro XIII
Dig. 1,3,31Idem libro XIII ad legem Iuliam et Papiam. Princeps legibus solutus est: Augusta autem licet legibus soluta non est, principes tamen eadem illi privilegia tribuunt, quae ipsi habent.
The Same, On the Lex Julia et Papia. The Emperor is free from the operation of the law, and though the Empress is undoubtedly subject to it, still, the Emperors generally confer upon her the same privileges which they themselves enjoy.
Dig. 8,1,7Ulpianus libro tertio decimo ad legem Iuliam et Papiam. Ius cloacae mittendae servitus est.
Ulpianus, On the Lex Julia et Papia, Book XIII. The right of building a sewer is a servitude.
Dig. 29,2,81Ulpianus libro tertio decimo ad legem Iuliam et Papiam. Totiens videtur heres institutus etiam in causa substitutionis adisse, quotiens adquirere sibi possit: nam si mortuus esset, ad heredem non transferret substitutionem.
Ulpianus, On the Lex Julia et Papia, Book XIII. An appointed heir is held to have signified his acceptance even in case of substitution, whenever he can acquire the property for himself; for if he should die, he will not transfer the substitution to his heir.
Dig. 29,3,10Ulpianus libro tertio decimo ad legem Iuliam et Papiam. Si in duobus exemplariis scriptum sit testamentum, alterutro patefacto apertae tabulae sunt. 1Si sui natura tabulae patefactae sunt, apertum videri testamentum non dubitatur: non enim quaeremus, a quo aperiantur. 2Si tabulae non compareant vel exustae sint, futurum est, ut subvenire legatariis debeat. idem est, si subpressae vel occultae sint.
Ulpianus, On the Lex Julia et Papia, Book XIII. Where there are two copies of a will, and one of them remains unsealed, the will is held to be opened. 1Where the will itself is unsealed, there is no doubt that it should be considered as opened; for we do not inquire by whom it is to be opened. 2If a will should not be produced, or has been burned, it follows that relief should be granted to the legatees; and the same rule applies where the will has been suppressed, or concealed.
Dig. 29,3,12Ulpianus libro tertio decimo ad legem Iuliam et Papiam. Si quis fecerit testamentum et exemplum eius, exemplo quidem aperto nondum apertum est testamentum: quod si authenticum patefactum est totum, apertum.
Ulpianus, On the Lex Julia et Papia, Book XIII. Where anyone makes a will and also a copy of it, and the copy is open, the will is not considered to be open; but when the original will is open, everything else is likewise.
Dig. 34,8,4Ulpianus libro tertio decimo ad legem Iuliam et Papiam. Si eo tempore, quo alicui legatum adscribebatur, in rebus humanis non erat, pro non scripto hoc habebitur. 1Sed et si in hostium potestate erat, quo testamentum fiebat, neque ab hostibus rediit, pro non scripto erit: et ita Iulianus scribit.
Ulpianus, On the Lex Julia et Papia, Book XIII. Where a bequest is made to anyone at a time when he is already dead, it is considered as not having been written. 1Moreover, where a legatee is in the power of the enemy at the time that the will is made, and does not return from captivity, the legacy is held not to have been written. This was also stated by Julianus.
Dig. 35,1,59Ulpianus libro tertio decimo ad legem Iuliam et Papiam. Intercidit legatum, si ea persona decesserit, cui legatum est sub condicione. 1Quid ergo, si non decesserit, sed in civitate esse desierit? puta alicui legatum ‘si consul fuerit’ et is in insulam deportatus est: numquid non interim exstinguitur legatum, quia restitui in civitate potest? quod probabilius esse arbitror. 2Non idem erit dicendum, si ea poena in eum statuta fuerit, quae irrogat servitutem, quia servitus morti adsimulatur.
Ulpianus, On the Lex Julia et Papia, Book XIII. A legacy becomes of no effect, if the person to whom it was bequeathed conditionally should die before the condition is fulfilled. 1But what if he should not die, but should lose his civil rights? For instance, where a bequest was made to a certain man, “if he should become Consul,” and he is deported to an island, will the legacy not be extinguished in the meantime, because he can be restored to his civil rights? I think that this is extremely probable. 2The same rule cannot be said to apply where a penalty involving servitude is imposed upon him, because servitude resembles death.
Dig. 35,2,64Ulpianus libro tertio decimo ad legem Iuliam et Papiam. Si in testamento ita scriptum sit: ‘heres meus Lucio Titio decem dare damnas esto et quanto quidem minus per legem Falcidiam capere poterit, tanto amplius ei dare damnas esto’, sententiae testatoris standum est.
Ulpianus, On the Lex Julia et Papia, Book XIII. Where the following provision is included in a will, “Let my heir be charged with the payment of ten aurei to Lucius Titius, and let as much more be given him as he will lose by the operation of the Falcidian Law,” the will of the testator must be executed.
