Pomponius states that when an individual shares an inheritance with the members of a municipality, actions for the division of inheritance, regulation of boundaries, and warding off rainwater are applicable between them.
[POMPONIUS libro tertio decimo ad Sabinum.]
[POMPONIUS, in the thirteenth book on Sabinus.]
Si tibi cum municipibus hereditas communis erit, familiae erciscundae1 iudicium inter uos2 redditur.3 idemque dicendum est et in finium regundorum et aquae pluuiae arcendae iudicio.
If you have an inheritance in common with the members of a municipality, an action for the division of an inheritance is granted between you. And the same must be said also regarding the action for regulating boundaries and that for warding off rainwater.
- 3.4.9.prfamiliae erciscundae
The noun familia (here, 'patrimony' or 'inheritance') is in agreement with the gerundive of ercisco ('to divide'). It modifies iudicium, meaning 'action for the division of an inheritance'. The same gerundive construction is found in finium regundorum ('for regulating boundaries') and aquae pluuiae arcendae ('for warding off rainwater').
- 3.4.9.printer uos
The plural accusative pronoun uos is used to encompass both the individual ('you', tibi) and the members of the municipality ('municipes', plural), demonstrating that these actions can lie between a private individual and a collective body.
- 3.4.9.prredditur
A technical legal term meaning that the magistrate (such as the praetor) 'grants' or 'allows' an action (formula) to the parties.
