Following the senatusconsult, the usufruct of all things became capable of being bequeathed, leading to a debate on whether this includes debts (Nerva denying it, but Cassius and Proculus correctly affirming it), while Nerva himself allows bequest to the debtor with interest remitted.
[ULPIANUS libro octauo decimo ad Sabinum.]
[ULPIANUS in the eighteenth book on Sabinus.]
Post quod1 omnium rerum usus fructus legari poterit. an et nominum?2 Nerua negauit: sed est uerius, quod Cassius et Proculus existimant, posse legari. idem tamen Nerua ipsi quoque debitori posse usum fructum legari scribit et remittendas ei usuras.3
After this [senatusconsult], the usufruct of all things could be bequeathed. Whether also of debts? Nerva denied it: but that which Cassius and Proculus think, that it can be bequeathed, is more correct. Yet the same Nerva writes that a usufruct can be bequeathed to the debtor himself as well, and that the interest is to be remitted to him.
- 7.5.3.prPost quod
The neuter singular relative pronoun quod refers back to the senatus consultum (senatusconsult) mentioned in the preceding section (§7.5.2.1). Thus, it means 'after this [senatusconsult]'.
- 7.5.3.prnominum
Genitive plural of nomen (name, ledger entry). In Roman law, it refers to debts or financial claims recorded in accounts, and is regularly translated as 'debts' or 'claims'.
- 7.5.3.prremittendas ei usuras
remittendas is a gerundive (future passive participle) forming an accusative-with-infinitive construction with esse omitted. Its subject accusative is usuras (plural accusative), expressing necessity or obligation ('interest must be remitted').
