§7.1.24.pr

​Si quis donaturus1 usufructuario spoponderit servo in quem usum fructum habet stipulanti,2 ipsi usufructuario obligabitur, quia ut ei seruus talis stipulari possit,3 usitatum est.

​If anyone, intending to make a donation to a usufructuary, makes a promise to the slave in whom the usufructuary has the usufruct and who is stipulating, he will be bound to the usufructuary himself, because it is customary that such a slave can stipulate for him.
