In emptionibus dominum legitimum sex fere res perficiunt: si hereditatem iustam adiit; si, ut debuit, mancipio ab eo accepit, a quo iure civili potuit; aut si in iure cessit, qui potuit cedere, et id ubi oportuit; aut si usu cepit; aut si e praeda sub corona emit; tumve cum in bonis sectioneve cuius publice veniit.
In the matter of purchase there are some six methods of acquiring a legitimate title: by legal inheritance; by receiving, in due form, through mancipation from one who had a legal right to transfer; by legal cession, from one who had the right to cede, and that at the proper time; by right of possession; by purchase at auction from war-booty; and lastly by official sale among other property or in confiscated property.
