The text describes the outcomes of these actions under the judge's authority, detailing the substance of the performance and the security to be ordered, as well as the monetary condemnation based on the plaintiff's oath if the defendant fails to comply.
[PAULUS libro uicensimo primo ad edictum.]
[PAULUS, book 21 on the Edict.]
Harum actionum euentus hic est, ut uictori officio iudicis aut res praestetur aut cautio. res ipsa haec est, ut iubeat aduersarium iudex emendare uitium parietis et idoneum praestare. cautio haec est, ut eum iubeat de reficiendo pariete cauere neque se neque successores suos prohibituros1 altius tollere sublatumque habere: et si cauerit, absoluetur. si uero neque rem praestat neque cautionem, tanti condemnet, quanti2 actor in litem iurauerit.
The outcome of these actions is this, that by the office of the judge either the thing itself or a security is provided to the victor. The thing itself is this, that the judge orders the adversary to repair the defect of the wall and to render it fit. The security is this, that he orders him to give security for the repair of the wall, and that neither he nor his successors will prevent [the plaintiff] from raising [his building] higher and keeping it raised; and if he gives security, he shall be acquitted. But if he provides neither the thing itself nor the security, let [the judge] condemn him in such an amount as the plaintiff shall have sworn to in the suit.
- 8.5.7.prprohibituros
The future infinitive prohibituros [esse] (with esse omitted) is part of the accusative-with-infinitive construction depending on cauere, which is commanded by iubeat. Its subject is se neque successores suos (himself nor his successors), and the object of the prevention (prohibere) is represented by the infinitives altius tollere sublatumque habere (raising [the building] higher and keeping it raised).
- 8.5.7.prtanti condemnet, quanti
condemnet is a jussive/hortatory subjunctive in the present tense ("let the judge condemn"). tanti ... quanti are genitives of value/price ("in such an amount as..."), referring to the amount to which the plaintiff shall have sworn in court (in litem iurauerit) under the oath regarding the value of the suit (iusiurandum in litem).
