Institutes of Roman Law
The Roman magistrate whose edict supplies equitable remedies (abstaining rights, deadlines, relief for minors) supplementing the civil law of inheritance.
Sed his praetor permittit abstinere se ab hereditate, ut potius parentis bona ueneant.
nam huius aetatis hominibus, sicut in ceteris omnibus causis deceptis, ita etiam si temere damnosam hereditatem susceperint, praetor succurrit.
〈sed〉 solet praetor postulantibus hereditariis creditoribus tempus constituere, intra quod si uelit adeat hereditatem, si minus, ut liceat creditoribus bona defuncti uendere.
