Marcellus discusses that if a portion of a dominant estate is sold without imposing a servitude, but is reacquired within the statutory period for the loss of servitudes, the original right of way is retained.
[MARCELLUS libro septimo decimo digestorum.]
[MARCELLUS, from the seventeenth book of the Digests.]
Si quis ex fundo, cui uiam uicinus deberet,1 uendidisset locum proximum seruienti fundo2 non imposita seruitute3 et intra legitimum tempus, quo seruitutes pereunt, rursus eum locum adquisisset, habiturus est4 seruitutem, quam uicinus debuisset.
If anyone, from an estate to which a neighbor owed a right of way, should have sold a portion nearest to the servient estate without imposing any servitude, and within the lawful period in which servitudes perish, should have acquired that portion again, he will hold the servitude which the neighbor had owed.
- 8.6.13.prcui uiam uicinus deberet
The antecedent of the relative pronoun cui is fundo. The subjunctive deberet (imperfect subjunctive) is attracted into the subjunctive mood as it is subordinate to the conditional clause (uendidisset); it describes the relationship between the dominant tenement (fundo) and the servient tenement owned by the neighbor (uicinus) who owed the right of way (uiam).
- 8.6.13.prlocum proximum seruienti fundo
seruienti fundo is in the dative case, governed by the adjective proximum (next to). It refers to 'the portion nearest to the servient estate,' indicating a situation where a part of the dominant estate directly adjacent to the servient estate was severed and sold.
- 8.6.13.prnon imposita seruitute
This is an ablative absolute construction. Translated as 'without imposing any servitude,' it means that when selling a portion of the land, no servitude was reserved or imposed upon the sold portion for the benefit of the remaining dominant tenement.
- 8.6.13.prhabiturus est
This is a periphrastic conjugation (first periphrastic) consisting of the active future participle habiturus and est, expressing a certain future consequence. By using the present indicative (periphrastic) in the apodosis against the pluperfect subjunctives (uendidisset, adquisisset) in the protasis, it emphasizes that the legal consequence will inevitably follow.
