Stipulationum libri
Ex libro XIII
Dig. 35,2,6Venuleius libro tertio decimo stipulationum. Si vir uxori heres exstiterit et in funus eius inpenderit, non videbitur totum quasi heres inpendere, sed deducto eo, quod quasi dotis nomine quam lucri facit conferre debuerit.
Venuleius, Stipulations, Book XIII. If a man should become the heir of his wife, and incur expenses for her funeral, he will not be considered to have expended the entire amount as her heir, but he should contribute in proportion to the extent that he is pecuniarily benefited, after having deducted what was due on account of the dowry.
