The clause ‘De alodibus.’
The Tit. LVI. De alodibus is as follows:—
Si quis absque liberis defunctus fuerit, si pater materque superstites fuerint in hereditatem succedant.
If any one shall have died without children, if father and mother survive they shall succeed to the hereditas.
Si pater materque non fuerint, frater et soror succedant.
If there are not father and mother, brother and sister shall succeed.
Si autem nec eos habuerit, tunc soror matris patrisque succedant. Et deinceps usque ad quintam genuculum, qui proximus fuerit, hereditatem succedat.
But if he has not these either, then the sister of the mother and the sister of the father shall succeed. And further, up to the fifth knee, whoever is nearest shall succeed to the inheritance.
Sed cum virilis sexus extiterit, femina in hereditatem aviaticam non succedat.
