The passage explains various ways of establishing a usufruct (such as by bequest or by judicial award in partition actions), its acquisition through dependents, and the possibility of bequeathing ownership minus usufruct when a slave is instituted as heir.
[GAIUS libro septimo ad edictum prouinciale.]
[GAIUS, On the Provincial Edict, book 7]
Usus fructus pluribus modis constituitur: ut ecce, si legatus fuerit. sed et proprietas deducto usu fructu1 legari potest, ut apud heredem maneat usus fructus.
A usufruct is established in several ways: for example, if it has been bequeathed. But also the ownership can be bequeathed with the deduction of the usufruct, so that the usufruct remains with the heir.
Constituitur adhuc usus fructus et in iudicio familiae herciscundae et communi diuidundo,2 si iudex alii proprietatem adiudicauerit, alii usum fructum.
Furthermore, a usufruct is also established in an action for partition of an inheritance and for division of common property, if the judge awards ownership to one person and the usufruct to another.
Adquiritur autem nobis usus fructus non solum per nosmet ipsos, sed etiam per eas quoque personas, quas iuri nostro subiectas habemus.3 Nihil autem uetat seruo meo herede instituto4 legari proprietatem deducto usu fructu.
Moreover, a usufruct is acquired for us not only through ourselves, but also through those persons whom we have subject to our power. However, nothing prevents ownership from being bequeathed with the deduction of the usufruct when my slave has been instituted as heir.
