Syntax notes1 item
  1. 7.1.14.prlicet ... percipiat

    The conjunction licet takes the present subjunctive percipiat to introduce a concessive clause ('even though...'). This brief fragment supplements Ulpian's preceding discussion (13.8) prohibiting the usufructuary from improperly leasing private baths or stables, indicating that proper management must be maintained 'even if' the revenue derived from the property is thereby significantly reduced.
