Justinian I · The Digest of Justinian §11.6.6.pr

Action for False Measurement in Servitudes and Materials

Passage 1802 of 9271 · Latin

Summary

Paul explains that the praetorian action against surveyors applies whether the dispute concerns the width of a right of way, specific easements (inserting or projecting structures), or when a surveyor has lied during the measurement of a plot, beam, or stone.

[PAULUS libro uicensimo quarto ad edictum. ] §11.6.6.prsiue de itineris latitudine siue de seruitute immittendi proiciendique quaeratur, siue aream uel tignum uel lapidem metiendo mentitus fuerit
[PAUL, from the twenty-fourth book on the Edict.] whether the question is about the width of a right of way, or about the easement of inserting (beams) or projecting (structures), or whether he has lied in measuring a plot of land, a beam, or a stone,

Notes

  1. §11.6.6.primmittendi proiciendique — Genitives of the gerunds immittendi (from immitto, 'to insert') and proiciendi (from proicio, 'to project'), qualifying the noun seruitute. These refer to specific urban servitudes (easements) in Roman law: the right to insert beams into a neighbor's wall (servitus immittendi) and the right to project structures over a neighbor's land (servitus proiciendi).
  2. §11.6.6.prmetiendo — Ablative of the gerund of the deponent verb metior ('to measure'), expressing means and modifying the following verb mentitus fuerit ('he has lied').
