Paulus states that even if the villa is demolished, the usufructuary can still use and enjoy the ground on which the villa stood.
[PAULUS libro tertio ad Sabinum.]
[PAULUS from the third book on Sabinus.]
Sed et eo quoque solo,1 in quo fuit uilla, uti frui2 potero.
But furthermore, I will also be able to use and enjoy that very ground on which the villa stood.
- 7.4.9.preo quoque solo
Ablative singular of solum ('ground, soil'), serving as the object of the deponent verbs uti and frui. Quoque modifies this phrase, emphasizing 'that ground as well' after the destruction of the villa.
- 7.4.9.pruti frui
An asyndetic collocation (lacking a conjunction) instead of uti et frui, commonly used in Roman legal texts as a formulaic phrase meaning 'to use and enjoy' (to exercise usufruct).
