(To the clerk.)
Please read the law which ordains that citation shall be made of the person possessing the inheritance.The Law
If any person shall claim the inheritance or the heiress after adjudication has been made, let him cite before the archon the person who has obtained the adjudication just as in other suits, and a deposit to cover costs shall be made by the claimant. And if he wins an adjudication without citation, the adjudication of the estate shall be of no effect. And if the person who has had the estate adjudged to him be not living, let the claimant cite in like manner the successor, provided that the period covered by the statute of limitations has not expired.

And the claim upon the possessor shall be that he shall show on what terms the person whose property he holds had it adjudged to him.
