It discusses that a usufructuary is generally not permitted to place a new channel on walls or to complete an unfinished building, and that no usufruct exists over such an unfinished building.
[NERATIUS libro secundo responsorum.]
[NERATIUS in the second book of Responses.]
Usufructuarius nouum riuum parietibus non potest inponere. aedificium inchoatum fructuarium consummare non posse placet, etiamsi eo loco aliter uti non possit, sed nec eius quidem usum fructum esse:1 nisi in constituendo uel legando usu fructu2 hoc specialiter adiectum sit, ut utrumque3 ei liceat.
A usufructuary cannot place a new channel upon walls. It is held that a usufructuary cannot complete an unfinished building, even if he cannot use that place in any other way, and indeed that there is not even a usufruct of it; unless this has been specifically added in establishing or bequeathing the usufruct, namely, that both should be permitted to him.
- 7.1.61.praedificium inchoatum fructuarium consummare non posse placet, sed nec eius quidem usum fructum esse
Two accusative-with-infinitive (A.C.I.) clauses stand in subject relation to the impersonally used verb placet (it is held). The first is aedificium ... non posse (that the usufructuary cannot complete an unfinished building), and the second, introduced by sed, is nec eius quidem usum fructum esse (and that not even the usufruct of it exists).
- 7.1.61.prin constituendo uel legando usu fructu
A gerundive construction where the gerundives constituendo and legando agree in gender, number, and case with the noun usu fructu (ablative singular), which is governed by the preposition in.
- 7.1.61.prutrumque
Accusative neuter singular of the pronoun uterque (both). It can be interpreted as referring to the two immediately preceding matters: "completing the building" (consummare) and "having the usufruct of it" (usum fructum esse); or alternatively, to the two main prohibitions of the fragment: "placing a new channel" (nouum riuum inponere) and "completing an unfinished building" (aedificium inchoatum consummare).
