Discusses the validity of a bequest of a usufruct by an owner of a bare property, addressing cases where the usufruct accrues to the property during the testator's lifetime, before the acceptance of the inheritance, or after its acceptance.

[ULPIANUS libro septimo decimo ad Sabinum.]
Si dominus nudae proprietatis1 usum fructum legauerit, uerum est, quod Maecianus scripsit libro tertio quaestionum de fideicommissis, ualere legatum: et si forte in uita testatoris uel ante aditam hereditatem2 proprietati accesserit, ad legatarium pertinere.3 plus admittit Maecianus, etiamsi post aditam hereditatem accessisset usus fructus, utiliter diem cedere4 et ad legatarium pertinere.
If the owner of a bare property has bequeathed a usufruct, it is correct, as Maecianus wrote in the third book of his Questions on Fideicommissa, that the legacy is valid; and that if by chance, during the lifetime of the testator or before the acceptance of the inheritance, the usufruct should accrue to the property, it belongs to the legatee. Maecianus goes further and admits that even if the usufruct should accrue after the acceptance of the inheritance, the right is validly established and belongs to the legatee.
- 7.1.72.prnudae proprietatis
A Roman law concept meaning ownership stripped of the right to use and enjoy the fruits (usufruct); literally "naked property."
- 7.1.72.prante aditam hereditatem
The preposition ante is combined with the noun hereditatem in the accusative and the perfect passive participle aditam (from adire, "to enter/accept"), expressing the action or event: "before the acceptance of the inheritance" (similar to the 'ab urbe condita' construction).
- 7.1.72.prualere legatum ... pertinere
These are accusative with infinitive (AcI) clauses functioning as the subjects of the main clause verb phrase uerum est ("it is true/correct"). The intervening clause quod Maecianus scripsit... is an appositive or explanatory relative clause.
- 7.1.72.prdiem cedere
A technical legal term in Roman law meaning that the right to a legacy has vested or been established (literally, "the day yields"). It is contrasted with diem uenire, which is the time when the legacy can actually be demanded.
