This section states that actions concerning rustic or urban servitudes belong to the owners of the estates, and notes that although tombs are exempt from private ownership, a right of way to them can still be claimed.
[ULPIANUS libro quarto decimo ad edictum.]
[ULPIANUS, book 14 on the Edict]
Actiones de seruitutibus rusticis siue urbanis eorum sunt,1 quorum praedia sunt: sepulchra autem nostri dominii2 non sunt: adquin uiam ad sepulchrum possumus uindicare.3
Actions concerning rustic or urban servitudes belong to those whose estates they are; but tombs are not of our ownership; nevertheless, we can claim a right of way to a tomb.
- 8.5.1.preorum sunt, quorum praedia sunt
A combination of the possessive genitive eorum with the relative pronoun quorum, meaning "belong to those whose estates they are" (literally, "are of those of whom the estates are").
- 8.5.1.prnostri dominii
A genitive of possession used predicatively. It reflects the Roman legal principle that tombs (sepulchra), as religious things (res religiosae), are excluded from private ownership (dominium) and are extra patrimonium.
- 8.5.1.pruindicare
Refers to bringing a proprietary claim (vindicatio), specifically to assert the existence of a servitude (vindicatio servitutis). While the tomb itself cannot be owned privately, the right of way (via) serving as a servitude to access it remains claimable.
