Scope of the Term Virilis Signifying Entire Inheritance

Notes

1. §50.16.145.prUirilis — The adjective ‘uirilis’ (pertaining to a man, per capita) is commonly used in legal texts in the phrase ‘portio uirilis’ (a per capita share among co-heirs). Here, it indicates that in certain cases, such as when there is a sole heir, this "per capita share" can refer to the entire inheritance (totam hereditatem).
2. §50.16.145.prcontineri — The passive infinitive ‘contineri’ (to be contained, comprised) forms an accusative with infinitive construction with ‘totam hereditatem’ as its subject, which serves as the complement of the impersonal gerundive construction ‘dicendum est’ (it must be said).
