   • A daughter cannot in any way force her father to remancipate her, even if she is an adopted daughter; a wife, on the other hand, who has been repudiated [by] (or has repudiated) [her husband], can force her husband [to remancipate her], as if she had never been married to him. 1994, Georges Duby, Michelle Perrot, Pauline Schmitt Pantel, A History of Women in the West - Volume 1, page 502:

   • 'Fiducia' is an agreement of trust, whereby the transferee in a mancipatio undertakes to divest himself of the ownership which has been conveyed to him, and more especially — in certain circumstances — to remancipate the thing he has received. 1892, Rudolf Sohm, The Institutes of Roman Law, page 34:
