[PAULUS libro quadragensimo octauo ad edictum. ] §39.1.8.prNon solum proximo uicino, sed etiam superiori opus facienti nuntiare opus nouum potero: nam et seruitutes quaedam interuenientibus mediis locis uel publicis uel priuatis esse possunt.
I will be able to give notice of a new work not only to an immediate neighbor, but also to one who lives above and is doing work; for certain servitudes can also exist even when intermediate places, either public or private, intervene.
§39.1.8.1Qui opus nouum nuntiat, si quid operis iam factum erit, in testationem referre debet, ut appareat, quid postea factum sit.
He who gives notice of a new work, if any part of the work has already been done, must record it in an attestation, so that it may appear what has been done afterwards.
§39.1.8.2Si, cum possem te iure prohibere, nuntiauero tibi opus nouum, non alias aedificandi ius habebis, quam si satisdederis.
If, when I could legally prohibit you, I give you notice of a new work, you will have the right to build on no other condition than if you give security.
§39.1.8.3Quod si nuntiauero tibi, ne quid contra leges in loco publico facias, promittere debebis, quoniam de eo opere alieno iure contendo, non meo, et tamquam alieni iuris petitor repromissione contentus esse debeo.
But if I give notice to you not to do anything contrary to the laws in a public place, you will only have to make a promise, since I am litigating about that work under another's right, not my own, and as a claimant of another's right, I ought to be content with a simple counter-promise.
§39.1.8.4Sciendum est facta operis noui nuntiatione cui nuntiatum est abstinere oportere, donec caueat uel donec remissio nuntiationis fiat: tunc enim, si ius aedificandi habet, recte aedificabit.
It must be known that once the notice of a new work has been given, the person to whom notice was given must abstain from work until he gives security or until a remission of the notice is made; for then, if he has the right to build, he will rightly build.
§39.1.8.5Sed ut probari possit, quid postea aedificatum sit, modulos sumere debet is qui nuntiat, qui ut sumantur conferanturque, praetor decernere solet.
But in order that it may be proved what was built afterwards, the person who gives notice must take measurements, and the praetor is accustomed to decree that these be taken and compared.
§39.1.8.6Morte eius qui nuntiauit extinguitur nuntiatio, sicut alienatione, quia his modis finitur ius prohibendi.
The notice is extinguished by the death of the person who gave notice, just as it is by alienation, because the right of prohibition is ended in these ways.
§39.1.8.7Quod si is cui opus nouum nuntiatum erat decesserit uel aedes alienauerit, non extinguitur operis noui nuntiatio: idque ex eo apparet, quod in stipulatione, quae ex hac causa interponitur, etiam heredis mentio fit.
But if the person to whom notice of a new work had been given dies or alienates the building, the notice of a new work is not extinguished; and this is apparent from the fact that in the stipulation which is entered into on this account, mention is also made of the heir.
