This passage explains that regarding the stipulation of a servitude for a common estate, a stipulation by only one partner is void, but one made by all partners or by a common slave is valid, allowing each partner to make an individual claim.
[PAULUS libro sexto ad Sabinum.]
[PAULUS, On Sabinus, Book 6]
Si unus ex sociis stipuletur1 iter ad communem fundum, inutilis est stipulatio, quia nec dari ei potest: sed si omnes stipulentur siue communis seruus, singuli ex sociis sibi dari oportere2 petere possunt, quia ita dari eis potest: ne, si stipulator uiae plures heredes reliquerit, inutilis stipulatio fiat.3
If one of the partners should stipulate for a right of way to a common estate, the stipulation is useless, because it cannot be given to him alone; but if all stipulate, or a common slave does so, each of the partners can claim that it ought to be given to himself, because in this way it can be given to them; lest, if the stipulator of the way should leave several heirs, the stipulation should become useless.
- 8.3.19.prunus ex sociis stipuletur
Due to the indivisibility of servitudes (here, a right of way), a servitude cannot be established for only one of the partners, and therefore a stipulation made by only one partner is void.
- 8.3.19.prdari oportere
Meaning 'that it ought to be given', this is a formulaic legal expression asserting the existence of an obligation. It allows each partner to claim performance 'to himself' (sibi) rather than the whole.
- 8.3.19.prne, si stipulator uiae plures heredes reliquerit, inutilis stipulatio fiat
The concluding ne-clause explains the rationality of the rule allowing each partner to claim individually (singuli ... petere possunt) in stipulations by a common slave or all partners, drawing an analogy to the case of multiple heirs (to prevent the stipulation from becoming void if a single heir could not claim).
