Law Reception in Antiquity. According to ancient records Rome sent to Athens and elsewhere to collect material for the Twelve Tables. Certain specific provisions of the Twelve Tables are said to be derived from Solon's laws. All this is doubted today, but without sufficient reasons. Tab. V 3 Uti legassit etc. derives, as it seems, from Solon's law on testamentary dispositions.

Notes on Falcidian calculation in the case of pupillary substitution. The testator usually provides for the case that the instituted heir dies before he attained full age (pupillus) and nominates a substitute heir (substitutus). If both, pupillus and substitutus, have to fulfill different legacies the question arises if the substitute can refer to the lex Falcidia, claiming that the sum of all legacies, those imposed on him and those imposed on the pupillus, exceeds the Falcidian limit. According to strict law this is impossible because the substitutus is heir of the pupillus and the value of the heritage was already impaired by the legacies which the pupillus paid. Only if the substitutus is (by way of fiction) rated as heir of the testator the legacies can be totalized, the sum being the point of reference for the Falcidian calculation.
