The text discusses the landlord's right to petition for the interdict unde vi when a tenant-farmer, tenant, or their respective sub-tenants are forcefully expelled.

[LABEO, in the third book of Epitomes of Probabilities by Paulus.] If your tenant-farmer has been expelled by force, you will bring an action under the interdict unde vi.
idem si inquilinus tuus ui deiectus fuerit.
The same applies if your tenant has been expelled by force.
PAULUS: idem dici potest de coloni colono, item inquilini inquilino.
PAULUS: the same can be said of a sub-tenant of a tenant-farmer, and likewise of a sub-tenant of a tenant.

Notes

  1. §43.16.20.prages unde ui interdicto — The verb ages (agere) means 'to bring an action' or 'to take legal steps', and is construed with the ablative of means interdicto indicating the legal instrument. While an object like actionem is omitted, the meaning is clear in context as 'to proceed under the interdict'.
  2. §43.16.20.prcoloni colono — The noun colono is in the ablative case governed by the preposition de, and coloni is a possessive genitive modifying colono. It refers to a 'sub-tenant-farmer' (a tenant of a tenant). The genitive is placed before the ablative. The following phrase inquilini inquilino exhibits the exact same structure.
