| Text | Etymologiarum sive Originum libri XX (622 - 633) Isidore of Seville |
| Quotation | Conubium autem non a nupta, sed a nubendo formatum. Dicitur autem conubium, cum aequales in nuptias coeunt, ut puta ciues Romani, pari utique dignitate. Conubium autem non est, cum ciuis Romanus cum Latina iungitur. |
| Translation | The word conubium (“marriage”), however, is formed not from nupta (“married woman”), but from the word nubo (“veil, wed”). And it is called conubium when equals enter into a married state, as for example Roman citizens, clearly equal in status. But it is not conubium when a Roman citizen is joined with a woman of Latium. (Trans. Barney, Lewis, Beach and Berghof, p. 211) |
