He who takes care of his deceased brother s estate and of his widow, shall, after raising up a son for his brother, give that property even to that ,son .

The eldest alone may take the whole paternal estate, the others shall live under him just as ,they lived under their father.

The additional share ,deducted for the eldest shall be one twentieth ,of the estate and the best of all chattels, for the middlemost half of that, but for the youngest one fourth.

If a younger brother begets a son on the wife of the elder, the division must then be made equally, this the law is settled.

An adopted son shall never take the family ,name and the estate of his natural father, the funeral cake follows the family ,name and the estate, the funeral offerings of him who gives ,his son in adoption cease ,as far as that son is concerned .

An eldest brother who through avarice may defraud the younger ones, shall no ,longer hold the position of the eldest, shall not receive an ,eldest son s additional share, and shall be punished by the king.
