Notes

  1. 8.3.28.prItinere ... legato — An ablative absolute construction composed of the noun `itinere` (ablative singular of `iter`, "right of way") and the perfect passive participle `legato` (from `legare`), functioning as a conditional clause ("If a right of way ... is bequeathed").
  2. 8.3.28.prneque adquiritur neque deperit — A correlative negative construction with `neque... neque...` ("neither... nor...") governing the passive verb `adquiritur` ("is acquired") and the active verb `deperit` ("perishes" / "is lost") with `seruitus` as the common subject.
