The text presents the opinion of ancient jurists that if a building is erected on a vacant plot subject to another's usufruct, the usufruct is restored if the building is removed before the usufruct expires.

[MARCELLUS libro septimo decimo digestorum.]
Si in area, cuius usus fructus alienus esset, quis aedificasset, intra tempus quo usus fructus perit1 superficie sublata2 restitui usum fructum3 ueteres responderunt.
The ancient jurists gave the opinion that if someone had built on a vacant plot of land, the usufruct of which belonged to another, the usufruct is restored, provided that the superstructure is removed within the time in which the usufruct is lost.
- 7.1.71.printra tempus quo usus fructus perit
The relative clause quo usus fructus perit modifies tempus. Since a usufruct is lost through non-use (non usus), this refers to the period before the prescriptive period for the loss of the usufruct expires.
- 7.1.71.prsuperficie sublata
An ablative absolute construction consisting of the noun superficies (superstructure/building) and sublata, the perfect passive participle of tollere. Here it expresses a conditional meaning: "if the superstructure is removed."
- 7.1.71.prrestitui usum fructum
An accusative with infinitive (AcI) construction governed by the main verb responderunt, where usum fructum is the subject accusative and restitui (present passive infinitive) is the predicate.
