Pomponius explains that if water pipes attached to a house cause damage, the owner of the house has an action on the case (actio in factum) and can also demand a stipulation against threatened damage (damnum infectum).
[POMPONIUS libro decimo ad Sabinum.]
[POMPONIUS in the tenth book on Sabinus.]
Si fistulae, per quas aquam ducas, aedibus meis applicatae1 damnum mihi dent, in factum actio mihi competit: sed et damni infecti2 stipulari a te potero.
If the pipes through which you conduct water, being attached to my house, should cause me damage, an action on the case is available to me; but I shall also be able to demand from you a stipulation against threatened damage.
- 8.2.18.prapplicatae
A perfect passive participle agreeing with the feminine plural subject fistulae. It functions not only as a simple attributive modifier ('pipes attached'), but also carries a circumstantial nuance, implying 'by being attached' or 'when attached' in this context.
- 8.2.18.prdamni infecti
Genitive ('of threatened damage'). It functions as the object of the deponent infinitive stipulari ('to demand a stipulation'). This is an idiomatic legal expression derived from the noun phrase stipulatio damni infecti (stipulation against threatened damage), where the verb, which normally governs an accusative, is used with a genitive in the context of this specific type of stipulation.
