Correspondence of Capacity to Repudiate and to Acquire
Summary
It states the principle that only those who have the capacity to acquire an inheritance are also capable of refusing it.
Notes
- §29.2.18.prqui et — Here, et is used adverbially rather than as a coordinating conjunction ("and"), modifying the following infinitive adquirere to mean "also". Thus, the clause translates to "He who can also acquire".
