Modestinus explains that based on the principle of the indivisibility of servitudes, a servitude cannot be acquired, bequeathed, or revoked in part, and alienating part of the land after stipulating a servitude invalidates the stipulation.
[MODESTINUS libro sexto differentiarum.]
[MODESTINUS in the sixth book of Differences.]
Pro parte dominii1 seruitutem adquiri non posse uolgo traditur: et ideo si quis fundum habens uiam stipuletur et partem fundi sui postea alienet, corrumpit stipulationem in eum casum deducendo, a quo stipulatio incipere non possit.2 pro parte quoque neque legari neque adimi uia potest et, si id factum est, neque legatum neque ademptio ualet.
It is commonly taught that a servitude cannot be acquired for a part of ownership; and therefore, if anyone who owns a tract of land should stipulate for a right of way and afterwards alienate a part of his land, he ruins the stipulation by bringing it into such a state from which the stipulation could not have begun. Likewise, a right of way can neither be bequeathed nor taken away in part, and, if this is done, neither the bequest nor the revocation is valid.
- 8.1.11.prpro parte dominii
dominii is a genitive limiting pro parte. It refers to the principle of the indivisibility of servitudes, meaning that a servitude cannot be acquired in a divided manner in relation to only a fractional share of ownership.
- 8.1.11.prin eum casum deducendo, a quo stipulatio incipere non possit
deducendo is an ablative gerund expressing means. a quo is a relative pronoun referring to the antecedent eum casum, and the verb possit in the relative clause is in the subjunctive of characteristic, meaning "by bringing it into such a state from which the stipulation could not have begun in the first place."
