This chunk discusses the restoration of servitudes when land subject to a right of way is temporarily submerged and then restored by alluvion, and the obligation of the nearest neighbor to provide a road when a public road is destroyed.
[IAUOLENUS libro decimo ex Cassio.]
[JAVOLENUS, from the tenth book on Cassius.]
Si locus, per quem uia aut iter aut actus debebatur, impetu fluminis occupatus esset et intra tempus, quod ad amittendam seruitutem1 sufficit, alluuione facta restitutus est,2 seruitus quoque in pristinum statum restituitur: quod si id tempus praeterierit, ut seruitus amittatur, renouare eam cogendus est.3
If a place, through which a highway, a footpath, or a driftway was owed, should have been occupied by the force of a river and, within the time which is sufficient for losing a servitude, has been restored by alluvion, the servitude also is restored to its former state; but if that time has elapsed so that the servitude is lost, he must be compelled to renew it.
Cum uia publica uel fluminis impetu uel ruina amissa est, uicinus proximus uiam praestare debet.
When a public road is lost either by the force of a river or by a landslide, the nearest neighbor must provide a road.
- 8.6.14.prad amittendam seruitutem
The preposition ad followed by the gerundive amittendam and the noun seruitutem (both feminine accusative singular). This is equivalent to a gerund with an object (ad amittendum seruitutem), expressing purpose or sufficiency: "for losing the servitude."
- 8.6.14.prrestitutus est
Within the conditional clause (si-clause), while the first verb occupatus esset is in the subjunctive pluperfect to present a hypothetical situation (submersion), the coordinate verb restitutus est is in the indicative perfect, presenting the subsequent restoration as a factual condition.
- 8.6.14.prcogendus est
A passive periphrastic conjugational form expressing obligation or necessity. The third-person singular subject is not explicitly expressed but refers contextually to the owner of the servient estate (the neighbor) who owes the servitude.
