Equivalence of Possessors of Goods to Heirs

Notes

1. §37.1.2.pruice heredum — The singular ablative `uice` of the noun `uicis` (turn, place, position), combined with the genitive `heredum`, functions as a prepositional adverbial phrase meaning "in the place of" or "instead of." It expresses that the possessor of goods practically performs the same function as the civil law heir.
2. §37.1.2.prhabentur — The passive voice of `habere` (to hold, have), here in the third-person plural present passive, meaning "are held as" or "are regarded as." It connects with `uice heredum` to indicate that the possessors of goods are legally treated in that capacity.
