Modestinus' opinion that even if a complaint of an inofficious testament succeeds, it does not invalidate gifts made by the deceased during his lifetime, nor does it allow the recovery of dowry payments.
[MODESTINUS libro tertio responsorum.]
[MODESTINUS in the third book of Opinions.]
Etiamsi querella inofficiosi testamenti optinuerit, non ideo tamen donationes, quas uiuus ei perfecisse proponitur,1 infirmari neque in dotem datorum partem2 uindicari posse respondi.
I answered that, even if the complaint of an inofficious testament should succeed, it does not therefore follow that donations which the deceased while living is said to have completed in his favor can be invalidated, nor that any part of what was given as a dowry can be recovered.
- 5.2.11.prquas uiuus ei perfecisse proponitur
The verb 'proponitur' in the relative clause takes a nominative with infinitive construction, where the subject (the deceased) is implied. The nominative adjective 'uiuus' predicates the state of the subject ('while living'). 'ei' is the dative of the recipient of the donations.
- 5.2.11.prin dotem datorum partem
'datorum' is the genitive plural of the neuter substantive 'data' (things given), functioning as a partitive genitive qualifying 'partem'. 'in dotem' expresses the purpose or designation ('as a dowry').
