Proculus' opinion that if a right of way is bequeathed which cannot be used without construction work, it is permitted to create a path by digging and building a substructure.
[IDEM libro octauo decimo digestorum.]
[THE SAME in the eighteenth book of the Digests.]
Si iter legatum sit, qua nisi opere facto1 iri non possit,2 licere fodiendo substruendo3 iter facere Proculus ait.
Proculus says that if a right of way is bequeathed, through which it is impossible to pass unless construction work is done, it is permitted to make a path by digging and building a substructure.
- 8.1.10.propere facto
An ablative absolute consisting of the noun opus (work) and the perfect participle factus. Accompanied by the conjunction nisi (unless), it expresses a condition ('unless work is done').
- 8.1.10.priri non possit
The passive present infinitive iri of the verb eo (to go) is used impersonally with possit, meaning 'it cannot be gone' (i.e., 'it is impossible to pass').
- 8.1.10.prfodiendo substruendo
Ablatives of the gerund from the verbs fodio (to dig) and substruo (to build a substructure), expressing the means ('by digging and by building a substructure').
