Urban Servitude to Prevent Obstructing a View

Passage 1371 of 9271 · Latin

Summary

Ulpian mentions the existence of an urban servitude that prevents a neighbor's view from being obstructed.

[ULPIANUS libro uicensimo nono ad Sabinum. ] §8.2.3.prEst et haec seruitus, ne prospectui officiatur.
[ULPIANUS in the twenty-ninth book on Sabinus.] There is also this servitude, that the view be not obstructed.

Notes

  1. §8.2.3.prne prospectui officiatur — The subjunctive clause with ne defines the content of the preceding 'haec seruitus'. The verb 'officiatur' is the impersonal passive of the intransitive verb 'officere' (to obstruct, which governs the dative), and 'prospectui' is its dative object. Literally, 'lest obstruction be made to the view'.
