Notes

  1. §5.6.2.prQuae actio — A relative pronoun at the beginning of a sentence (relative connection), functioning like a demonstrative adjective pointing back to the 'fideicommissary petition for inheritance' mentioned in the preceding section.
  2. §5.6.2.preadem recipit, quae hereditatis petitio ciuilis — The correlative expression eadem... quae... ('the same... as...') is used. Here, eadem is neuter plural accusative, serving as the object of recipit. The relative pronoun quae is also neuter plural accusative, with the verb recipit understood in the relative clause ('the same things as the civil petition for inheritance admits').
