besides himself he may lodge there his wife, children, and
freedmen, and other free persons who form as regular a part
of his establishment as his slaves. Similarly, if a woman has
the use of a house, her husband may dwell there with her.
3 When a man has the use of a slave, he has only the right
of personally using his labour and services; in no way is he
allowed to transfer his right to a third person, and the same
applies to the use of beasts of burden. 4 If a legacy be given
of the use of a herd or of a flock of sheep, the usuary may
not use the milk, lambs, or wool, for these are fruits; but of
course he may use the animals for the purpose of manuring
his land.

5 If a right of habitation be given to a man by legacy or in
some other mode, this seems to be neither a use nor a usufruct,
but a distinct and as it were independent right; and by a consti-
tution which we have published in accordance with the opinion
of Marcellus, and in the interests of utility, we have permitted
persons possessed of this right not only to live in the building
themselves, but also to let it out to others.

6 What we have here said concerning servitudes, and the
rights of usufruct, use, and habitation, will be sufficient; of inherit-
ance and obligations we will treat in their proper places respect-
ively. And having now briefly expounded the modes in which we
acquire things by the law of nations, let us turn and see in what
modes they are acquired by statute or by civil law.
