Summary

Points out that security must be demanded from the debtor as well, even in the case where the usufruct is bequeathed to the debtor themselves.

Notes

  1. §7.5.4.prab hoc — The demonstrative pronoun hoc (ablative) refers to the debitor (debtor) mentioned at the end of the preceding section, D. 7.5.3.pr. It indicates that security must be demanded from this debtor themselves, as the recipient of the bequeathed usufruct of the debt (quasi-usufruct).
  2. §7.5.4.prexigenda erit — This is a passive periphrastic conjugation combining the gerundive of exigo (exigenda) with the future tense of sum (erit), expressing a future necessity or obligation ("will have to be demanded").
