It is argued that if a testator alters the character of the property bequeathed—such as turning a bathhouse or shop into a dwelling, or transferring an actor to a different employment—the usufruct is extinguished.
[ULPIANUS libro septimo decimo ad Sabinum.]
[ULPIANUS from the seventeenth book on Sabinus.]
Si cui balinei usus fructus legatus sit et testator habitationem hoc fecerit,1 uel si tabernae2 et diaetam fecerit, dicendum est usum fructum extinctum.
If the usufruct of a bathhouse has been bequeathed to someone and the testator has made this a dwelling, or if the usufruct of a shop has been bequeathed and the testator has made it an apartment, it must be said that the usufruct is extinguished.
Proinde et si histrionis reliquerit usum fructum et eum ad aliud ministerium transtulerit, extinctum esse usum fructum dicendum erit.
Accordingly, if also he has left the usufruct of an actor and has transferred him to another employment, it will have to be said that the usufruct is extinguished.
- 7.4.12.prhabitationem hoc fecerit
hoc is the neuter accusative singular of the demonstrative pronoun referring back to the preceding neuter noun balinei (genitive of balineum, bathhouse), and habitationem is a predicate accusative (object complement). Thus, it means 'has made this a dwelling'.
- 7.4.12.prsi tabernae
tabernae is the genitive feminine singular. A construction parallel to the preceding clause (si cui tabernae usus fructus legatus sit) is ellipted, meaning 'or if the usufruct of a shop has been bequeathed'.
