Pomponius explains that if a usufruct is bequeathed by two heirs to two co-legatees, each legatee acquires a one-quarter share of the usufruct from the respective share of each heir.
[POMPONIUS libro septimo ad Plautium.]
[POMPONIUS, in the seventh book on Plautius.]
Si mihi et tibi a Sempronio et Mucio heredibus usus fructus legatus sit, ego in partem Sempronii1 quadrantem,2 in partem Mucii alterum quadrantem habebo, tu item in utriusque parte eorum quadrantes habes.
If a usufruct should be bequeathed to me and you by the heirs Sempronius and Mucius, I shall have a quadrant in Sempronius’s share, and another quadrant in Mucius’s share, and you likewise have quadrants in the share of each of them.
- 7.1.49.prin partem Sempronii
The preposition in with the accusative partem indicates the specific share of the heir against or upon which the bequeathed obligation of the usufruct is charged.
- 7.1.49.prquadrantem
It means one-quarter (1/4) of the whole. Since there are two heirs bound to deliver the bequest (assuming they hold equal shares of 1/2 of the estate) and two co-legatees, the bequest is divided equally between the two legatees out of each heir's share, resulting in a quarter of the whole for each legatee from each heir.
