Notes

  1. §28.5.26.prid — A demonstrative pronoun (neuter singular accusative) serving as the direct object of the verb `censuit`. It refers to the legal principle or interpretation mentioned in the preceding text of Ulpianus (§28.5.25.pr) regarding the tacit substitution.
  2. §28.5.26.prin legato eodem modo relicto — A prepositional phrase consisting of `in` and the ablative. `relicto` is a perfect passive participle modifying the neuter singular ablative noun `legato`. It indicates that the senate's decree established the same rule for a 'legacy' (legatum) left in the same manner (eodem modo) as the institution of an heir.
