Autonomous System ( IP, Internet, RFC 1930) AS. A word purely Latin. It has two significations. First, it signifiesweight, and in this sense, the Roman as, is the same thing as the Romanpound, which was composed of twelve ounces. It was divided also into manyother parts ( as may be seen in the law, Servum de hoeredibus, Inst. Lib. xiii. Pandect,) viz. uncia, 1 ounce; sextans, 2 ounces; quodrans, 3 ounces; triens, 4 ounces quincunx, 5 ounces; semis, 6 ounces; septunx, 7 ounces; bes, 8 ounces, dodrans, 9 ounces; dextans, 10 ounces; deunx, 11 ounces. 2. From this primitive and proper sense of the word another wasderived: that namely of the totality of a thing, Solidum quid. Thus assignified the whole of an inheritance, so that an heir ex asse, was an heirof the whole inheritance. An heir ex triente, ex semisse, ex besse, or exdeunce, was an heir of one- third, one- half, two- thirds, or eleven- twelfths.
