Paulus states that the survival of the action for dowry allows the emancipated woman to bring her lawsuit at any time.

[PAULUS libro undecimo ad edictum.]
ut quandoque emancipata agat.1
so that the emancipated woman may bring her action at some time.
- 4.5.9.prut quandoque emancipata agat
This clause is a purpose (or result) clause introduced by ut, logically continuing from the end of the preceding fragment of Gaius (D. 4.5.8.pr), which states that the action for dowry survives capitis deminutio. emancipata is a perfect passive participle used substantively in the feminine nominative singular ("the emancipated woman"), and agat is the subjunctive of agere, here used in its technical legal sense of bringing a lawsuit (specifically for the return of the dowry).
