dotis modus quadraginta milia aeris fuit, quo non solum humanitas patrum conscriptorum sed etiam habitus veterum patrimoniorum cognosci potest: namque adeo fuerunt arta ut Tuccia Caesonis filia maximam dotem ad virum decem milia aeris attulisse visa sit, et Megullia, quia cum quinquaginta milibus aeris mariti domum intravit, Dotatae cognomen invenerit.
The amount of the dowry was four (?) thousand asses, by which can be perceived not only the humanity of the Conscript Fathers but the size of ancient patrimonies. So restricted were they that the dowry of ten thousand asses brought to her husband by Tuccia, Caesos daughter, was considered very large and Megullia got the surname Dowry girl because she entered her husbands house with fifty thousand asses.
