Soil Adherence and Applicability of the Interdict

Passage 7136 of 9271 · Latin

Summary

Explains why the interdict for what is done by force or stealth does not apply to a heap but applies to buildings, based on whether they adhere to the soil.

[UENULEIUS libro secundo interdictorum. ] §43.24.10.prquia aceruus solo non cohaeret, sed terra sustinetur, aedificia autem solo cohaerent.
[VENULEIUS, from the second book on interdicts.] because a heap does not adhere to the soil, but is supported by the ground, whereas buildings adhere to the soil.

Notes

  1. §43.24.10.prsolo — Dative singular of the neuter noun solum (soil, ground), governed by the intransitive verb cohaeret, expressing "adheres to the soil."
  2. §43.24.10.prterra sustinetur — terra is the ablative singular of the feminine noun terra (earth, ground), serving as an ablative of means or instrument with the passive verb sustinetur, meaning "is supported by the ground."
