page 309 note 5 H. Siber, art. cit. 273, is an honourable exception: ‘Wenn ein Testator bei der Einsetzung des Adoptivsohnes den frühen Tod seiner einzigen leiblichen Abkommlinge beklagte, ist das ganz unverfanglich und enthält keine Spitze gegen den Adoptivsohn.’ Contra Kornemann, loc. cit. It is worth inquiring if Suetonius has reported the whole or only the first part of the sendietence. Livia too was heres primo gradu. Was her institution likewise made consequent upon the deaths of Gaius and Lucius? It should also be borne in mind that the will said ‘quoniam atrox fortuna … filios mihi eripuit, Tiberius Caesar mihi ex parte dimidia et sextante heres esto’. The deaths may merely have altered Tiberius' share as heres.
