The passage states the juristic opinion that the bequest of a slave's services should be understood as the granting of the right of use.
[TERENTIUS CLEMENS libro octauo decimo ad legem Iuliam et Papiam.]
[TERENTIUS CLEMENS, in the eighteenth book on the Lex Julia et Papia.]
Operis serui legatis1 usum datum intellegi2 et ego didici et Iulianus existimat.
That, when the services of a slave are bequeathed, the right of use is understood to be given, is something I both have learned and Julianus is of the opinion.
- 7.7.5.properis serui legatis
An ablative absolute construction meaning "when the services of a slave are bequeathed." operis (ablative plural of the feminine noun opera) agrees with legatis (feminine ablative plural of the perfect passive participle of legare), while serui is a genitive singular modifying operis.
- 7.7.5.prusum datum intellegi
The accusative usum serves as the subject of the present passive infinitive intellegi, modified by the perfect passive participle datum (with esse omitted). This entire infinitive clause functions as the object of the main verbs didici and existimat (accusative with infinitive construction).
