Presents the opinion of Paulus that when the use of things other than a house is bequeathed, a wife can use those things in common with her husband.
[PAULUS libro tertio ad Sabinum.]
[PAULUS, in the third book on Sabinus.]
Ceterarum quoque rerum usu legato1 dicendum est uxorem cum uiro in promiscuo usu eas res habere posse.2
When the use of other things also has been bequeathed, it must be said that a wife can have those things in common use with her husband.
- 7.8.9.prCeterarum quoque rerum usu legato
An ablative absolute construction consisting of the noun usu (ablative singular of usus) and legato (perfect passive participle of legare in the ablative singular). ceterarum rerum is an objective genitive depending on usu. Here it expresses a conditional force: 'when/if the use of other things also has been bequeathed.'
- 7.8.9.pruxorem cum uiro in promiscuo usu eas res habere posse
An accusative with infinitive (A.C.I.) clause introduced by the impersonal gerundive construction dicendum est ('it must be said'). The accusative uxorem is the subject of the infinitive clause, the main verb of which is posse ('to be able'), followed by the complementary infinitive habere ('to have, use'). eas res ('those things') is the direct object of habere, and in promiscuo usu expresses the manner ('in common use').
