«Legatum liberationis» und «acceptilatio»: D. 35.2 (De lege Falcidia).82, Ulpian 8 disput. auf den Spuren Julians

The principal subject of the article is how to understand the meaning of the pronoun 'sibi' as a component of the expression «ipse (debitor) sibi solvendo videtur» applied to a debtor to whom an acceptilatio is bequeathed. Interpretations so far do not convince and are, incidentally, not in accordance with acceptilatio described by Julian. In fact, Julian's conception of acceptilatio allows a new view for the matter in question and seems to be the guide-line for Ulpian's reflections in general, whose frame of reference is the application of the lex Falcidia. A minor problem concerns the phrase «si soli ei liberatio relicta est» which appears to be spurious.
