For a testament is of force where there hath been death: for it doth never avail while he that made it liveth.

For a testament has effect after death; for what power has it while the man who made it is living?

διοτι η διαθηκη επι τεθνεωτων ειναι βεβαια, επειδη ποτε δεν ισχυει, ενοσω ζη ο διαθετης.

For a testament is of force after men are dead: otherwise it is of no strength at all while the testator liveth.
