[19]
As
he was in possession of the estate, and as Aebutius was exaggerating his seventy-second share
unduly, Caecina, as heir, demanded an arbitrator, for the purpose of dividing the inheritance.
And in a few days, when Aebutius saw that he could not pare anything off from Caecina's
property by the terror of a law-suit, he gives him notice, in the forum at Rome, that that farm which I have already mentioned, and of
which I have shown that he had become the purchaser on Caesennia's commission, was his own,
and that he had bought it for himself What are you saying? you will say to me;—does
that farm belong to Aebutius which Caesennia had possession of without the least dispute for
four years, that is to say, ever since the farm was sold, as long as she lived? Yes, for the
life-interest in that farm, and its produce, belonged to Caesennia, by the will of her
husband.
