Syntax notes2 items

3.3.6.pret qui
This fragment continues the ruling from the preceding text of Ulpian (§3.3.5.pr). The main predicate, such as 'praesens habetur' (is considered present), is elliptically omitted from the context.
3.3.6.prin continentibus aedificiis
'continentia aedificia' is a technical term in Roman law referring to buildings that are contiguous to or adjoining the city. The preceding relative clause structure 'qui [est]' is understood to govern this prepositional phrase as well.
