[PAULUS libro tertio de adulteriis. ] §23.5.14.prSi nuptura Titio uoluntate eius fundum dotis nomine Maeuio tradit, dos eius condicionis erit, cuius esset, si ipsi Titio fundum tradidisset. §23.5.14.1Si mulieris nomine quis fundum in dotem dederit, dotalis fundus erit: propter uxorem enim uidetur is fundus ad maritum peruenisse. §23.5.14.2Si fundum alienum mulieri debeat maritus eumque mulier ei dotis nomine promiserit, in pendenti erit et tunc fiet dotalis, cum ad eum peruenerit. §23.5.14.3Si fundum legatum sibi dotis causa mulier repudiauerit uel etiam substituto uiro omiserit hereditatem uel legatum, erit fundus dotalis.
[PAUL, On Adulteries, Book III.] a woman about to marry Titius delivers a tract of land, with his consent, to Maevius under the name of a dowry, her dowry will be of the same condition as it would be if she had delivered the land to Titius himself. anyone has given land as a dowry in the name of the woman, the land will be dotal; for that land is deemed to have come to the husband on account of the wife. the husband owes a tract of land belonging to another to the woman, and the woman has promised it to him under the name of a dowry, it will be in suspense, and will become dotal when it has come to him. the woman has rejected a tract of land bequeathed to her for the purpose of a dowry, or even, where the husband has been substituted, she has failed to accept the inheritance or the legacy, the land will be dotal.
