Then, drawing on the pages in the textbook, state what the dead man's daughter's name would have been. Cite the page that gave you this information.

HINT: When students struggle with this assignment, it's because they assume there is only one possible answer for each abbreviation and don't look for alternatives: for instance, D and M do stand for Decius and Marcus, when they're by themselves, but perhaps when $D$ and $M$ are together they stand for something else?
