[PROCULUS libro secundo epistularum. ] §8.2.13.prQuidam Hiberus nomine, qui habet post horrea mea insulam, balnearia fecit secundum parietem communem: non licet autem tubulos habere admotos ad parietem communem, sicuti ne parietem quidem suum per parietem communem: de tubulis eo amplius hoc iuris est, quod per eos flamma torretur paries: qua de re uolo cum Hibero loquaris, ne rem illicitam faciat.
[PROCULUS in the second book of Epistles.] A certain man named Hiberus, who owns an insula behind my warehouses, built baths along the common wall; but it is not permitted to have pipes placed close to the common wall, just as it is not permitted to have even one's own wall supported by the common wall. Concerning the pipes, there is this much additional restriction in law, because through them the flame scorches the wall. On this matter I wish you to speak with Hiberus, so that he does not do an illicit thing.
Proculus respondit: nec Hiberum pro ea re dubitare puto, quod rem non permissam facit tubulos secundum communem parietem extruendo.
Proculus replied: I think that not even Hiberus himself doubts on that account, namely that he is doing an impermissible thing by constructing pipes along the common wall.
§8.2.13.1Parietem communem incrustare licet secundum Capitonis sententiam, sicut licet mihi pretiosissimas picturas habere in pariete communi: ceterum si demolitus sit uicinus et ex stipulatu actione damni infecti agatur, non pluris quam uulgaria tectoria aestimari debent: quod obseruari et in incrustatione oportet.
It is permitted to plaster a common wall according to the opinion of Capito, just as it is permitted for me to have very precious paintings on a common wall. But if a neighbor demolishes it and action is brought on a stipulation for threatened damage, they ought not to be valued at more than ordinary plaster; which rule ought also to be observed in the case of plastering.
