For by the law of alienship foreigners are excluded from the right of succession in the case of the goods of a dead citizen or even of a foreigner who dies in alien territory, nor can they be appointed heirs in a will nor can legacies be left to them, and consequently if there is no one who can become heir by virtue of the laws of that place, the goods of the deceased, as goods of nobody, go by right of occupation to the ruler of the state representing the treasury."
