Paulus explains that the same requirement of security applies to the income of an estate, such as a vintage or harvest, which, although gathered as usufruct, reverts to the heir upon the death of the legatee under the legacy.
[PAULUS libro septuagensimo quinto ad edictum.]
[PAULUS in the seventy-fifth book on the Edict.]
Idem est et in reditu praedii, sicuti si uindemia legata esset uel messis, quamuis ex usu fructu ea percipiantur, quae legato1 morte legatarii ad heredem redeunt.2
The same is true also in the case of the income of an estate, just as if a vintage or a harvest had been bequeathed; although those things are gathered by virtue of a usufruct, which, by the legacy, return to the heir upon the death of the legatee.
- 7.9.6.prlegato
This is the ablative singular of the noun legatum ("legacy"), meaning "by the legacy" or "under the terms of the legacy." It should not be confused with the ablative of the perfect passive participle of the verb legare; here it functions as a noun expressing the legal cause or instrument.
- 7.9.6.prquae legato morte legatarii ad heredem redeunt
The relative pronoun quae, as the subject of the relative clause, refers back to its antecedent, the neuter plural pronoun ea (referring to the vintage and harvest). It describes the legal nature of these fruits gathered from a usufruct, which revert (redeunt) to the owner (the heir) upon the death of the legatee when the right terminates.
