    without redup. sponderat,

    Tert. Carm. adv. Mart. 3, 135; subj. sponsis = spoponderis, an ancient formula of prayer in Fest. p. 351 Müll.), v. a. [akin with spendô, to pour out, = libare; cf. spondai, league].
    I.
    Jurid. and publicists' t. t.
    A.
    In bargains, covenants, treaties, etc., to promise solemnly, to bind, engage, or pledge one's self (class.; syn.: recipio, stipulor, promitto; cf.: vadimonium obire, vadari); according to the civil law in its original form, it was essential to a binding contract verbally made (verbis) that a proposition and its acceptance should be expressed by the question spondes? and the answer spondeo; and only at a later period was the use of promitto, etc., valid (v. Sandars, Introd. ad Just. Inst. p. LV): verbis obligatio fit ex interrogatione et responsione, velut, Dari spondes? Spondeo. Dabis? Dabo. Promittis? Promitto;

    sed haec quidem verborum obligatio: dari spondes? spondeo, propria civium Romanorum est, cetera vero juris gentium sunt,

    Gai. Inst. 3, 91 sq.; Dig. 45, 1, 126; 45, 1, 133; cf.

    quod spondendo pacem servassent exercitum,

    id. 9, 8, 15:

    quid tandem si spopondissemus urbem hanc relicturum populum Romanum?

    id. 9, 9, 6:

    ea demum sponsio esset, quam populi jussu spopondissemus,
