Notes
- §50.1.32.prante contractas nuptias — The preposition ante followed by the noun nuptias and the perfect passive participle contractas in agreement, forming the dominant participle construction (commonly known as the 'ab urbe condita' type), which denotes the occurrence of the action. It is translated as 'before the marriage is contracted' rather than 'before the contracted marriage'.
