Marcianus presents the fundamental classification of servitudes, dividing them into personal servitudes (such as use and usufruct) and praedial/real servitudes (such as rustic and urban servitudes).
[MARCIANUS libro tertio regularum.]
[MARCIANUS in the third book of Rules.]
Seruitutes aut personarum sunt,1 ut usus et usus fructus, aut rerum, ut seruitutes rusticorum praediorum et urbanorum.2
Servitudes are either of persons, such as use and usufruct, or of things, such as servitudes of rustic and urban estates.
- 8.1.1.prpersonarum sunt
A possessive genitive (or genitive of belonging) used with the verb 'esse' to mean 'belong to' or 'are of'. The same applies to the subsequent 'rerum [sunt]'. These expressions form the basis of the classical Roman law distinction between 'personal servitudes' (servitutes personarum) and 'praedial/real servitudes' (servitutes rerum).
- 8.1.1.prurbanorum
The preceding neuter noun 'praediorum' is omitted here, effectively forming a parallel structure: 'rusticorum praediorum et urbanorum [praediorum]' (of rustic estates and of urban [estates]). 'Praedia rustica' (rustic estates) and 'praedia urbana' (urban estates) are the two major categories of landed property in Roman law.
