Ad senatus consultum Velleianum liber singularis
Dig. 16,1,23Idem libro singulari ad senatus consultum Velleianum. Si mulier in iure interrogata responderit se heredem esse, si sciens se heredem non esse responderit, minime intercessisse videri, quia decepit: quod si existimavit se heredem et eo nomine decepta responderit in eam actionem quidem dari plerique existimaverunt, sed exceptione senatus adiuvari.
The Same, On the Velleian Decree of the Senate. Where a woman interrogated in court answered that she was the heir, and she did so well knowing that she was not the heir; she will, by no means, be held to have bound herself to another, because she was guilty of deception; but if she thought that she was the heir, and, being deceived as to this, answered in this way; many authorities are of the opinion that an action will be granted against her, but that she can have recourse to an exception based on the Decree of the Senate.
