[CELSUS libro quinto digestorum. ] §8.1.9.prSi cui simplicis uia per fundum cuiuspiam cedatur uel relinquatur, in infinito, uidelicet per quamlibet eius partem, ire agere licebit, ciuiliter modo: nam quaedam in sermone tacite excipiuntur.
[CELSUS in the fifth book of the Digests.] If a simple right of way through someone's estate is ceded or bequeathed to anyone, it will be permitted to pass and drive without limit, namely through any part of it, yet only in a civil manner: for certain things are tacitly excepted in speech.
non enim per uillam ipsam nec per medias uineas ire agere sinendus est, cum id aeque commode per alteram partem facere possit minore seruientis fundi detrimento.
For he must not be permitted to pass and drive through the villa itself or through the middle of the vineyards, since he can do this just as conveniently through another part with less detriment to the servient estate.
uerum constitit, ut, qua primum uiam direxisset, ea demum ire agere deberet nec amplius mutandae eius potestatem haberet: sicuti Sabino quoque uidebatur, qui argumento riui utebatur, quem primo qualibet ducere licuisset, posteaquam ductus esset, transferre non liceret: quod et in uia seruandum esse uerum est.
But it has been established that, along whatever course he first laid out the way, along that only ought he to pass and drive, and he should no longer have the power of changing it; as it also seemed to Sabinus, who used the argument of a watercourse, which at first it was permitted to lead anywhere, but after it had been led, it was not permitted to transfer it; which is true to be observed also in the case of a way.
