Regarding disputes over boundaries, it states that old records and the census compiled before the lawsuit should be followed, unless it is proven that the boundaries were subsequently changed due to successions or the decisions of the possessors.
[PAPINIANUS libro secundo responsorum.]
[PAPINIANUS, Book II of Opinions.]
In finalibus quaestionibus uetera monumenta census auctoritas ante litem inchoatam ordinati sequenda est,1 modo si non uarietate successionum et arbitrio possessorum fines additis uel detractis agris postea permutatos2 probetur.3
In disputes concerning boundaries, the ancient records and the authority of the census compiled before the commencement of the litigation must be followed, provided it is not proved that the boundaries were subsequently altered by the addition or subtraction of land through a variety of successions and the discretion of the possessors.
- 10.1.11.pruetera monumenta census auctoritas ... sequenda est
Although both uetera monumenta (neuter plural) and auctoritas (feminine singular) act as subjects, the predicate sequenda est (gerundive with copula) agrees in gender and number with the nearer subject, the feminine singular auctoritas.
- 10.1.11.prfines ... permutatos
This is an accusative with infinitive construction (with esse omitted from permutatos) acting as the subject of the passive verb probetur used impersonally; fines is the subject accusative of the infinitive.
- 10.1.11.prmodo si non ... probetur
modo si introduces a restrictive conditional clause ('provided that', 'only if'), typically taking the subjunctive mood (here probetur). With the negation non, it means 'provided that... is not proved'.
