Justinian I · The Digest of Justinian §41.2.45.pr

Retention of Possession of Seasonal Pastures in Absence

Passage 6743 of 9271 · Latin

Summary

Explains that the possession of winter and summer pastures is retained even if we have neither a slave nor a tenant present on the land.

[IDEM libro secundo definitionum. ] §41.2.45.prlicet neque seruum neque colonum ibi habeamus,
[THE SAME, in the second book of Definitions.] although we have neither a slave nor a tenant there,

Notes

  1. §41.2.45.prlicet... habeamus — The conjunction `licet` expresses concession ("although") and takes the present subjunctive `habeamus`. This clause directly continues and completes the syntax left unfinished at the end of the preceding fragment (D. 41.2.44.2), which introduced winter and summer pastures whose possession is retained by intention.
