Notes

  1. §28.6.22.prcontra tabulas testamenti — Meaning "against the tablets of the testament." It qualifies `bonorum possessionem` and refers to the legal remedy where an heir (typically a child left out of the will) petitions the praetor for the possession of goods contrary to the written provisions of the testament (bonorum possessio contra tabulas).
  2. §28.6.22.prfratri impuberi — A dative serving as the complement to the verb `substituere` (here in the passive form `substitutus sit`) in the conditional clause, indicating the relationship of pupillary substitution: "substituted for the impuberate brother."
