Neratius describes certain architectural rights (normally classified as urban servitudes) as rustic servitudes, and explains the conditions under which water-conducting or water-drawing rights through the same place can be granted to multiple individuals either at different times or simultaneously.
[NERATIUS libro quarto regularum.]
[Neratius, Rules, Book 4]
Rusticorum praediorum1 seruitutes sunt licere altius tollere et officere praetorio uicini,2 uel cloacam habere licere per uicini domum uel praetorium, uel protectum habere licere.
Servitudes of rustic estates are: that it is permitted to raise a building higher and obstruct the view of a neighbor’s villa, or that it is permitted to have a sewer through a neighbor’s house or villa, or that it is permitted to have a projection.
Aquae ductus et haustus aquae per eundem locum ut ducatur,3 etiam pluribus concedi potest: potest etiam, ut diuersis diebus uel horis ducatur:
Conducting water and the drawing of water may also be granted to several persons, so that water is led through the same place; it can also be granted so that it is led on different days or hours.
si aquae ductus uel haustus aquae sufficiens est, potest et pluribus per eundem locum concedi, ut et isdem diebus uel horis ducatur.
If the conducting of water or the drawing of water is sufficient, it can also be granted to several persons through the same place, so that it is led even on the same days or hours.
- 8.3.2.prRusticorum praediorum
The servitudes listed here (raising buildings higher, having a sewer, having a projection) are normally classified as urban servitudes (servitutes urbanorum praediorum). Their inclusion under 'rustic' (rusticorum) servitudes may be due to a scribal error (for urbanorum), or it may reflect a particular view by Neratius that treats these rights as rural when they pertain to a country estate (praetorium).
- 8.3.2.prlicere altius tollere et officere praetorio uicini
An infinitive phrase introduced by the impersonal licere ('to be permitted'), forming a predicate complement to 'seruitutes'. The transitive verb officere ('to obstruct') governs the dative, here taking praetorio uicini ('a neighbor's villa') as its object.
- 8.3.2.1Aquae ductus et haustus aquae per eundem locum ut ducatur
The nominative phrase 'Aquae ductus et haustus aquae' at the beginning is picking up or explained by the following ut-clause ('ut ducatur'). The subject of 'ducatur' (subjunctive passive singular) is understood to be the singular feminine 'aqua' (water).
