Primary Text
When there are two or more depositors, if
they are not solidary, and the thing admits of division,
each one cannot demand more than his share.
When there is solidarity or the thing does not admit of
division, the provisions of articles 1212 and 1214 shall
govern. However, if there is a stipulation that the thing
should be returned to one of the depositors, the
depositary shall return it only to the person designated.
