Syntax notes2 items
  1. 7.4.6.printerdictum quod ui aut clam

    The interdict quod vi aut clam ('what is done by force or stealth'). It refers to a possessory or property-related legal remedy (an interdict) to demand restoration to the original state against someone who, by force (vi) or stealth (clam), made alterations (such as erecting a building) on another's land. Pomponius's remark is inserted as an additional remedy to the preceding text of Ulpian, where the owner extinguished the usufruct of the site by building on it.

  2. 7.4.6.prcompetit

    Third-person singular present active indicative of the verb competo (to belong to, to be available). Combined with the dative usufructuario, it means '(a legal remedy) is available to the usufructuary'. The subject is interdictum.
