Papinian states that even a disinherited child, or a child who does not inherit from their mother, must observe mourning for their parents, and that mourning must be held for those who die in battle even if their bodies are missing.
[PAPINIANUS libro secundo quaestionum.]
[PAPINIANUS, in his Second Book of Questions.]
Exheredatum quoque filium luctum habere patris memoriae1 placuit,2 idemque et in matre iuris est,3 cuius hereditas ad filium non pertinet.
It has been decided that even a disinherited son must observe mourning for the memory of his father, and the same rule of law applies in the case of a mother whose inheritance does not go to her son.
Si quis in bello ceciderit, etsi corpus eius non conpareat, lugebitur.4
If anyone falls in battle, even if his body cannot be found, he shall be mourned.
