Primary text

When an owner acquires two slaves simultaneously and then dies, the ruling regarding the manumission of one of them follows the same ruling established for the scenario where two slaves were acquired sequentially in the preceding legal case (which implied the manumission applies only upon death to the last one owned, but here they are acquired together).
