Not illustrated. 1906 edition. Excerpt: ... out any cretio, and might accept or repudiate the inheritance by any sufficient declaration of intention, though made informally; he might accept, e.g., by pro herede gestio, i.e. doing any act in relation to the hereditas, which could only be done legally in his capacity as heres.
