[IDEM libro trigesimo tertio ad edictum. ] §23.3.39.prSi serua seruo quasi dotem dederit, deinde constante coniunctione ad libertatem ambo peruenerint peculio eis non adempto et in eadem coniunctione permanserint, ita res moderetur, ut, si quae ex rebus corporalibus uelut in dotem tempore seruitutis datis exstiterint, uideantur ea tacite in dotem conuersa, ut earum aestimatio mulieri debeatur.
[THE SAME in the thirty-third book on the edict.] If a female slave has given something to a male slave as if as a dowry, and then, while their union continues, both have attained freedom without their peculium being taken away from them, and have remained in the same union, the matter should be so regulated that, if any of the corporeal things given as if as a dowry during the time of slavery still exist, they are deemed to have been tacitly converted into a dowry, so that the valuation of them is owed to the woman.
Si spadoni mulier nubserit, §23.3.39.1distinguendum arbitror, castratus fuerit necne, ut in castrato dicas dotem non esse: in eo qui castratus non est, quia est matrimonium, et dos et dotis actio est.
If a woman marries a spado, I think a distinction should be made as to whether he was castrated or not, so that in the case of a castrated person you would say there is no dowry; but in the case of one who is not castrated, since there is a marriage, both a dowry and an action for dowry exist.
