It is argued that when two apartment buildings are transferred to two people at the exact same moment, the servitude is validly established because, before the completion of the transfer, the transferor is setting it on his own property.
[POMPONIUS libro octauo ad Sabinum.]
[POMPONIUS, on Sabinus, book 8]
Si cum duas haberem insulas, duobus eodem momento tradidero, uidendum est, an seruitus alterutris imposita ualeat, quia alienis quidem aedibus nec imponi nec adquiri seruitus potest. sed ante traditionem poractam1 suis2 magis adquirit uel imponit is qui tradit ideoque ualebit seruitus.
If, when I owned two apartment buildings, I transfer them to two persons at the exact same moment, it must be considered whether a servitude imposed on either of them is valid, since a servitude can neither be imposed on nor acquired for the property of another. But before the transfer is completed, the transferor rather acquires for or imposes upon his own property, and therefore the servitude will be valid.
- 8.4.8.prporactam
The manuscript reading poractam is generally regarded as a scribal error for peractam (perfect passive participle of perago, 'to complete, finish', here in the accusative feminine singular agreeing with traditionem).
- 8.4.8.prsuis
suis is an ablative or dative feminine/neuter plural modifying the implied aedibus (or insulis). Because this happens 'before the transfer is completed' (ante traditionem peractam), the buildings are still 'his own' (suis) to the transferor (is qui tradit), meaning that the transaction does not violate the rule that one cannot impose a servitude on another's property.
