Notes
- 7.4.11.prante diem legati cedentem — Refers to the day on which the right to the legacy vests (dies cedens), which is usually the death of the testator. If another horse has been substituted to restore the chariot before this day, the usufruct is not extinguished.
- 7.4.11.pralius ... substitutus sit — The subject alius (another) is masculine singular, referring contextually to equus (horse, masculine), which is mentioned in the preceding fragment (§7.4.10.8). The verb substitutus sit is the third-person singular perfect passive subjunctive of substituo (to substitute), indicating a condition within the nisi clause.
