Summary

[IULIANUS libro octauo digestorum. ] §10.1.9.prIudicium finium regundorum manet, quamuis socii communi diuidundo egerint uel alienauerint fundum.
[JULIANUS, Book VIII of the Digests.] The action for regulating boundaries remains, even though the co-owners have sued for the division of common property or have alienated the land.

Notes

  1. §10.1.9.prcommuni diuidundo — An expression referring to the action for the division of common property. Combined with the verb egerint (agere), it forms the legal formulaic phrase 'communi diuidundo agere' (to bring an action for partition of common property). 'communi' is the ablative of the neuter substantive (common property), and 'diuidundo' is the gerundive in the ablative, originating from the ablative of means.
  2. §10.1.9.pregerint uel alienauerint — Perfect subjunctives introduced by the conjunction quamuis (although, even though), indicating actions completed prior to the main verb manet (remains).
