Notes

  1. §7.1.10.prusufructuarium sumpturum — An accusative with infinitive (AcI) construction consisting of the future active infinitive `sumpturum [esse]` and its subject accusative `usufructuarium`. It functions as indirect speech where a governing verb of saying or writing (such as `ait` or `scribit`) is omitted.
  2. §7.1.10.prdum ne — Taking the subjunctive `faciat`, this phrase introduces a restrictive condition equivalent to `dummodo ne` ("provided that ... not", "as long as ... not").
