[IDEM libro singulari ad senatus consultum Velleianum. ] §16.1.23.prSi mulier in iure interrogata responderit se heredem esse, si sciens se heredem non esse responderit, minime intercessisse uideri, quia decepit: quod si existimauit se heredem et eo nomine decepta responderit, in eam actionem quidem dari plerique existimauerunt, sed exceptione senatus consulti adiuuari.
[THE SAME, In a Single Book on the Senate Decree Velleianum.] If a woman, on being questioned in court, has answered that she is the heir, if she has answered knowing that she is not the heir, she is deemed not to have intervened at all, because she deceived; but if she believed herself to be the heir and, being deceived on that account, has answered, most jurists have thought that an action indeed is granted against her, but that she is assisted by the exception of the senate decree.
