Ulp. xxII 14-5) must either make them his heirs, or disinherit them expressly (if a son or postumus, by name); if the son or postumus was not mentioned (was praeteritus), the will was wholly void; if daughters and grandchildren were passed over, they were entitled to share with the heirs named in the will. Sui heredes (and also parents and brothers and sisters), disinherited or passed over, might bring a querella inofficiosi (i.e. testamenti), to shew that the testator acted without sufficient cause, in error or in blind passion dig.
