This law can be already found in the Code of Euric (see [199]). The law appears to be drawn from the Codex Theodosianus V.3.1 [2086], where also the monasteries are mentioned as potential recipients of inheritances. Here monasteries are omitted. According to Schaferdiek (1967: 16) the Code of Euric (and the first redaction of Lex Visigothorum too) primarly concerned the Arian Church and the omission of monasteries can suggest that Arian monasticism was strictly linked to the bishop, and that there were no monasteries in the Arian Church (Heil 2014: 280-281).
