[IDEM libro quarto responsorum. ] §20.6.11.prLucius Titius cum esset uxori suae Gaiae Seiae debitor sub pignore siue hypotheca praediorum, eadem praedia cum uxore sua Seiae Septiciae communis filiae nomine Sempronio marito eius futuro in dotem dedit:
Lucius Titius, being indebted to his wife Gaia Seia under a pledge or mortgage of certain estates, gave the same estates, together with his wife, in the name of Seia Septicia, their common daughter, as a dowry to Sempronius, her future husband.
§20.6.11.1postea defuncto Lucio Titio Septicia filia abstinuit se hereditate paterna: quaero, an mater eius hypothecam persequi possit.
Afterwards, on the death of Lucius Titius, the daughter Septicia abstained from her father's inheritance. I ask whether her mother can pursue the mortgage.
Paulus respondit pignoris quidem obligationem praediorum Gaiam Seiam, quae uiro pro filia communi in dotem eadem danti consensit, cum communis filiae nomine darentur, remississe uideri, obligationem autem personalem perseuerasse: sed aduersus eam, quae patris hereditate se abstinuit, actionem non esse dandam.
Paulus answered that, with respect to the obligation of the pledge on the estates, Gaia Seia—who consented to her husband giving the same as a dowry for their common daughter, since they were given in the name of the common daughter—seems to have released it, but the personal obligation continued; however, no action should be given against her who abstained from her father's inheritance.
