This section determines that when a property owes both a servitude not to build higher and a servitude to receive a drip, even if the restriction on building higher is released, the owner is not permitted to build higher if doing so prevents the receiving of the drip.
[POMPONIUS libro trigensimo tertio ad Sabinum.]
[POMPONIUS, in the thirty-third book on Sabinus.]
Si domus tua aedificiis meis utramque seruitutem1 deberet, ne altius tolleretur et ut stillicidium aedificiorum meorum recipere deberet, et tibi concessero2 ius esse inuito me altius tollere aedificia tua, quod ad stillicidium meum attinet,3 sic statui debebit, ut si altius sublatis aedificiis tuis4 stillicidia mea cadere in ea non possint, ea ratione altius tibi aedificare non liceat: si non impediantur stillicidia mea, liceat tibi altius tollere.
If your house owed both servitudes to my buildings, that it should not be raised higher and that it should receive the drip of my buildings, and I have granted to you that you have the right to raise your buildings higher against my will, so far as concerns my drip, it must be decided thus: that if, your buildings having been raised higher, my drips cannot fall upon them, for that reason you are not allowed to build higher; if my drips are not impeded, you are allowed to raise them higher.
- 8.2.21.prutramque seruitutem
Noun phrase in the accusative. The following clauses introduced by ne (ne altius tolleretur) and ut (ut stillicidium... recipere deberet) explain the specific contents of these "both servitudes" in apposition.
- 8.2.21.prconcessero
First-person singular future perfect active indicative of concēdere. Used in the conditional clause (si...), it denotes an action that will have been completed prior to the future action of the main clause (debebit).
- 8.2.21.prquod ad stillicidium meum attinet
An idiomatic restrictive clause meaning "so far as concerns my drip." It limits the context regarding how the waiver of the building height restriction (concessio) affects the other servitude of receiving the drip.
- 8.2.21.praltius sublatis aedificiis tuis
Ablative absolute with the perfect participle sublatis (expressing condition or cause), meaning "your buildings having been raised higher" or "if your buildings are raised higher."
