Summary

Explains that in boundary disputes, if land is adjudicated from one party to another, the party receiving the land must be ordered to pay a certain sum of money as compensation.

[GAIUS libro septimo ad edictum prouinciale. ] §10.1.3.prQuo casu opus est, ut ex alterutrius praedio alii adiudicandum sit, quo nomine is cui adiudicatur in uicem pro eo quod ei adiudicatur certa pecunia condemnandus est.
[GAIUS, Book VII on the Provincial Edict.] In which case it is necessary that an adjudication be made to one party from the estate of the other, on which account he to whom the adjudication is made must, in turn, be condemned to pay a certain sum of money in proportion to what is adjudicated to him.

Notes

  1. §10.1.3.pradiudicandum sit — The gerundive adiudicandum with sit forms a passive periphrastic conjugation used impersonally to express necessity ("must be adjudicated"). It indicates that a portion from the estate of one of the two parties (ex alterutrius praedio) must be legally assigned to the other (alii).
  2. §10.1.3.prcerta pecunia condemnandus est — The verb condemnare (to condemn or order to pay) takes the ablative of price or penalty (certa pecunia). The gerundive condemnadus expresses obligation/necessity: "he must be condemned to pay a certain sum of money."
