[GAIUS libro septimo ad edictum prouinciale.]

[GAIUS in the seventh book on the Provincial Edict.]

§8.1.5.pr

​Uia iter actus ductus aquae isdem fere modis constituitur, quibus et usum fructum constitui diximus.1

​Way, footpath, driving path, and conduit of water are established in almost the same ways as those in which we have said that usufruct is established.

§8.1.5.1

​Usus seruitutium temporibus secerni potest, forte ut quis post horam tertiam usque in horam decimam eo iure utatur2 uel ut alternis diebus utatur.

​The use of servitudes can be separated by times: for example, that someone may use that right from the third hour up to the tenth hour, or that he may use it on alternate days.

Syntax notes2 items
  1. 8.1.5.prusum fructum constitui diximus

    An accusative-with-infinitive (AcI) construction serving as the object of the main verb diximus ("we have said"). Here, usum fructum is the subject accusative of the infinitive, and constitui is the present passive infinitive.

  2. 8.1.5.1eo iure utatur

    The present subjunctive utatur is the third-person singular of the deponent verb utor, which governs the ablative case. Thus, it takes the preceding noun phrase eo iure as its object.
