Arrogation
from
Bouvier's Law Dictionary, Revised 6th Ed (1856)
ARROGATION, civil law. Signifies nearly the same as adoption; the only
difference between them is this, that adoption was of a person under full
age but as arrogation required the person arrogated, sui juris, no one could
be arrogated till he was of full age. Dig. 1, 7, 5; Inst. 1, 11, 3 1 Brown's
Civ. Law, 119.
