The School of Law has had a good year, but has suffered as a result of quite inadequate physical facilities. This matter has been referred to in my Annual Report for years, but now we at the Law School are pleased that, upon the recommendation of the Administration of the University, the Board of Regents has made provisions for additional facilities.

Two of the Transylvanian sale triptychs contain the clause 'apochatum pro uncis duabus.' The first document dates from 142 A.D., the second from 160 A.D. What meaning is to be attributed to 'apochatum (or apochatam) pro uncis duabus', literally 'receipted for two ounces'?
The real explanation, I suggest, is that 'apochatum pro uncis duabus', 'receipted for two unciae', refers to the present 'mancipatio', not to a previous one, and that the point of the clause is to limit the 'actio auctoritatis' to four 'unciae', a negligible sum.
