Summary

It stipulates that in the grant of a water conduit, only those parts of the land that were free from buildings, trees, and vineyards at the time of the grant shall be subject to the servitude.

[POMPONIUS libro trigensimo tertio ad Sabinum. ] §8.3.22.prsed quae loca eius fundi tunc, cum ea fieret cessio, aedificiis arboribus uineis uacua fuerint, ea sola eo nomine seruient.
[POMPONIUS, On Sabinus, Book 33] But only those places of that land which, at the time when that grant was made, were free from buildings, trees, and vineyards, shall be subject to the servitude under that name.

Notes

  1. 8.3.22.praedificiis arboribus uineis uacua — aedificiis, arboribus, and uineis are ablatives of separation/deprivation governed by the adjective uacua (nominative neuter plural of uacuus, agreeing with loca, meaning 'free from, lacking').
  2. 8.3.22.preo nomine — Meaning 'under that name' or 'on that account'. In this context, it refers to the title or cause of the servitude (iter aquae, water conduit) mentioned in the preceding section (8.3.21.pr).
