[Meaning they] having matured 1.
Eunapius [writes]: "and the boys having come of age and gained control of their heart and hands".2
Also "to have been of age for two years" is said whenever the sons of heiresses seem to have become ready to inherit their father's estate. Isaeus says: "we consider it necessary that the closest male relative live with her and that the fortune meanwhile should belong to the heiress, but that, whenever the sons have been of age for two years, they should take control of it."3
