Modestinus explains the definitions and differences between "iter" (the right to pass on foot or horseback) and "actus" (the right to drive beasts or vehicles) among rustic servitudes in Roman law.
[MODESTINUS libro nono differentiarum.]
[MODESTINUS, Differences, Book 9]
Inter actum et iter nonnulla1 est differentia: iter est enim, qua quis pedes uel eques commeare potest, actus uero, ubi et armenta traicere et uehiculum ducere liceat.
There is some difference between actus and iter: for iter is where one can travel on foot or on horseback, whereas actus is where it is permitted both to drive herds and to lead a vehicle.
- 8.3.12.prnonnulla
The feminine singular nominative of the adjective nonnullus (some, not none), modifying differentia. Through double negation, it emphasizes a positive nuance, meaning "considerable" or "not insignificant" rather than just "some."
