[GAIUS libro undecimo ad edictum prouinciale. ] §23.2.55.prQuin etiam nefas existimatur eam quoque uxorem ducere, quae per adoptionem filia neptisue esse coeperit, in tantum, ut et, si per emancipationem adoptio dissoluta sit, idem iuris maneat.
[SCAEVOLA, in his eleventh book on the Provincial Edict.] Nay, it is even considered impious to marry a woman who has become one's daughter or granddaughter through adoption, to such an extent that, even if the adoption has been dissolved by emancipation, the same rule of law remains.
§23.2.55.1Patris adoptiui mei matrem aut materteram aut neptem ex filio uxorem ducere non possum, scilicet si in familia eius sim: alioquin si emancipatus fuero ab eo, sine dubio nihil impedit nuptias, scilicet quia post emancipationem extraneu intellegor.
I cannot marry the mother, maternal aunt, or granddaughter by a son of my adoptive father, that is to say, if I am in his family; otherwise, if I have been emancipated by him, there is without doubt nothing that prevents the marriage, namely because after emancipation I am understood to be a stranger.
