For a minor is not allowed to make a will; for the law expressly forbids any childor womanto contract for the disposal of more than a bushel of barley. Now evidence has been given you that Aristarchus (I.) predeceased his son Demochares and that the latter died after his father; and so, even supposing they had made wills, Aristarchus (II.) could never have inherited this property under their wills.[*] Now read the laws which show that neither of them had the right to make a will.
