Viollet copies Maurer, but forces the meaning still further: “King Chilperic,” says he, “was obliged to declare that the neighbours should not succeed and that the sons should” (_Bibl. de l’École des Chartes_, 1872, p. 492). Such an interpretation is the very opposite of the original. [97] Neugart, i. p. 153. [98] The words _terræ areales_ or _ariales_ are to be found especially in the _Codex Fuldensis_ of Dronke, Nos. 16, 78, 155, etc., and in the _Traditiones possessionesque Wissemburgenses_ of Zeuss, Nos. 9, 35, 52, etc. [99] Victor Vitensis, i. 4; “Exercitui provinciam Zeugitanam funicuo hereditates divisit.” [100] Procopius, _Gothic War_, i. 1. [101] The chief of these collections are the _Codex Diplomaticus_ and the _Syllogi_ of Guden, 1728, 1743; the _Codex traditionum Corbeiensium_ of Falke, 1752; the _Monumenta Boica_, beginning in 1763; the _Codex Laureshamensis abbatiæ diplomaticus_, 1768; the _Subsidia_ and the _Nova Subsidia diplomatica_ of Wurdtwein, 1772-1781; the _Codex diplomaticus Alemanniæ_ of Neugart, 1791; the _Urkundenbuch_ for the history of the Lower Rhine district by Lacomblet, 1840; the _Traditiones Wissemburgenses_ of Zeuss, 1842; the _Traditiones Fuldenses_ of Dronke, 1844; and by the same editor, the _Codex diplomaticus Fuldensis_, 1850. Add to these certain works wherein a great number of similar documents have been printed: Meichelbeck, _Historia Frisingensis_, 1724; Hontheim, _Historia Trevirensis diplomatica_, 1750; Schœpflin, _Alsatia diplomatica_, 1772; Wigand, _Archiv für Geschichte Westphalens_, 1825; Bodmann, _Rheingauische Alterthümer_, 1819; Mone, _Zeitschrift für die Geschichte des Oberrheins_, 1850. Since Maurer wrote, several other collections have been printed, especially those of Beyer, _Urkundenbuch ..., mittelrheinischen Territorien_, 1860; Binding, _Fontes rerum Bernensium_, 1883; and the _Urkundenbuch der Abtei S. Gallen_, 1863. [102] _Codex Laureshamensis_ No. 11, p. 25-26: “Ego Wigbertus dono ad Sanctum Nazarium, ... in mansis, terris, campis, pratis, ... quantumcunque in his locis proprium habere videor ... dono trado atque transfundo perpetualiter ad possidendum, jure et potestate habendi, tenendi, donandi, commutandi, vel quidquid exinde facere volueritis liberam ac firmissimam habeatis potestatem.” [103] _Codex Laureshamensis_, No. 12: “Dono ad Sanctum Nazarium ... de propria alode nostra in locis nuncupatis ... ubicunque moderno tempore mea videtur esse possessio vel dominatio, de jure meo in jus ac dominationem S. Nazarii dono trado atque transfundo.”
