The text discusses whether plants may be placed above the restricted height on buildings subject to a height-limit servitude, distinguishing between general height restrictions and those concerning a view.
[IAUOLENUS libro decimo ex Cassio.]
[JAVOLENUS in the tenth book from Cassius.]
Aedificia, quae seruitutem patiantur ne quid altius tollatur,1 uiridia2 supra eam altitudinem habere possunt: at si de prospectu est3 eaque obstatura sunt, non possunt.
Buildings which are subject to a servitude that nothing be raised higher may have greenery above that height; but if the servitude is concerning a view, and those plants are going to obstruct it, they cannot.
- 8.2.12.prne quid altius tollatur
A ne clause defining the specific content of the noun seruitutem. It indicates the content of the servitude (known as servitus altius non tollendi, the servitude of not raising a building higher) to the effect "that nothing (quid) be raised higher (altius tollatur)".
- 8.2.12.pruiridia
The neuter plural accusative substantive of the adjective uiridis (green), referring to plants, greenery, or gardens placed on rooftops or balconies. It is the direct object of the infinitive habere.
- 8.2.12.prsi de prospectu est
An expression of esse with the prepositional phrase de prospectu. Contextually, the omitted subject is the servitude (seruitus), meaning "if the servitude is concerning a view (prospect)" rather than just a height restriction.
