- 8.2.14.prquae nulli seruitutem debet
The relative pronoun 'quae' refers back to 'area'. 'nulli' is a dative of reference or disadvantage, meaning 'to no one' (representing another property). The verb 'debere' means to owe or be under an obligation; thus, the clause indicates that the plot of land is free from any servitudes to neighboring properties.
- 8.2.14.printermisso legitimo spatio
An ablative absolute construction consisting of the noun 'spatio' and the perfect passive participle of 'intermittere'. It means 'the lawful distance having been left' or 'provided that the legally prescribed space is maintained,' functioning as a condition for the construction.
