In response to whether a servitude can be established for oneself and a neighbor or partner when selling sole or common land, it is answered that the addition of a neighbor is superfluous and a single partner cannot acquire a servitude for common land.
[IDEM libro secundo epistularum.]
[THE SAME, Letters, Book 2.]
Proprium solum uendendo1 an seruitutem talem iniungere possim, ut mihi et uicino seruiat? similiter si commune solum uendo, ut mihi et socio seruiat, an consequi possim? respondi: seruitutem recipere nisi sibi nemo2 potest: adiectio itaque uicini pro superuacuo habenda est, ita ut tota seruitus ad eum, qui receperit, pertineat. solum autem commune uendendo ut mihi et socio seruiat, efficere non possum, quia per unum socium communi solo3 seruitus adquiri non potest.
Whether, in selling my own land, I can impose such a servitude that it should serve myself and my neighbor? Similarly, if I sell common land, can I achieve that it should serve myself and my partner? I answered: no one can acquire a servitude except for himself; therefore, the addition of the neighbor must be regarded as superfluous, so that the entire servitude belongs to him who acquired it. However, by selling common land, I cannot bring it about that it should serve myself and my partner, because a servitude cannot be acquired for common land through only one partner.
