Paulus states that the action for regulating boundaries is a personal action, even though it practically functions in place of a recovery of property (a real action).
[PAULUS libro uicensimo tertio ad edictum.]
[PAULUS, Book XXIII on the Edict.]
Finium regundorum1 actio in personam est, licet2 pro uindicatione rei3 est.
The action for establishing boundaries is a personal action, although it is in place of the recovery of a thing.
- 10.1.1.prFinium regundorum
The genitive plural noun finium (of boundaries) agrees with the gerundive regundorum (from rego, to regulate). Together they form a gerundive construction expressing 'the regulation of boundaries', modifying actio (action).
- 10.1.1.prlicet
The concessive conjunction licet (although), which classically takes the subjunctive, is here construed with the indicative est. This syntactic feature is common in juristic and later Latin.
- 10.1.1.prpro uindicatione rei
The preposition pro (in place of, as equivalent to) governs the ablative uindicatione. uindicatio rei (recovery of a thing) represents the typical real action (actio in rem), and this phrase indicates that while the boundary action is technically in personam, it functions practically as a real action.
