Justinian I · The Digest of Justinian §8.1.5.pr-8.1.5.1

Creation of Servitudes and Division of Use by Time

Passage 1353 of 9271 · Latin

Summary

This passage explains that the establishment of servitudes is almost the same as that of usufruct, and that the use of servitudes can be restricted by specific hours or on alternate days.

[GAIUS libro septimo ad edictum prouinciale. ] §8.1.5.prUia iter actus ductus aquae isdem fere modis constituitur, quibus et usum fructum constitui diximus.
[GAIUS in the seventh book on the Provincial Edict.] Way, footpath, driving path, and conduit of water are established in almost the same ways as those in which we have said that usufruct is established.
§8.1.5.1Usus seruitutium temporibus secerni potest, forte ut quis post horam tertiam usque in horam decimam eo iure utatur uel ut alternis diebus utatur.
The use of servitudes can be separated by times: for example, that someone may use that right from the third hour up to the tenth hour, or that he may use it on alternate days.

Notes

  1. §8.1.5.prusum fructum constitui diximus — An accusative-with-infinitive (AcI) construction serving as the object of the main verb `diximus` ("we have said"). Here, `usum fructum` is the subject accusative of the infinitive, and `constitui` is the present passive infinitive.
  2. §8.1.5.1eo iure utatur — The present subjunctive `utatur` is the third-person singular of the deponent verb `utor`, which governs the ablative case. Thus, it takes the preceding noun phrase `eo iure` as its object.
