This text states the principle that if a right of water conduit is granted without specifying the particular path, the entire land becomes subject to the servitude.
[PAULUS libro quinto decimo ad Sabinum.]
[PAULUS, On Sabinus, Book 15]
Si mihi concesseris iter aquae per fundum tuum non destinata parte, per quam ducerem,1 totus fundus tuus seruiet:
If you have granted me a water conduit through your land without specifying the part through which I should lead it, your whole land will be subject to the servitude.
- 8.3.21.prnon destinata parte, per quam ducerem
The phrase 'non destinata parte' is an ablative absolute (or ablative of manner) meaning 'without the part being specified.' The relative clause 'per quam ducerem' that follows contains the imperfect subjunctive 'ducerem', expressing purpose, destiny, or a hypothetical course ('through which I was to lead [the water]').
