Note 867 — Chapter VI · OLD ENGLISH WIFE-PURCHASE YIELDS TO FREE MARRIAGE
Reading edition
Ine, 31: Liebermann, Gesetze, 103. The phrase "and sio (seo) gyft (gift) forth ne cume" was rendered by Schroeder, Güterrecht, I, 51 n. 8, followed by Schmid, Gesetze, 34, 35, note, "if the purchase price be not paid"—a manifest error. Cf. Thorpe, Ancient Laws, I, 123.
