Establishing a Right of Way Restricted to Daytime

Passage 1461 of 9271 · Latin

Summary

Julianus explains that a right of way can be established for daytime use only, a condition that is nearly indispensable for urban estates.

[IULIANUS libro quadragensimo primo digestorum. ] §8.4.14.prIter nihil prohibet sic constitui, ut quis interdiu dumtaxat eat: quod fere circa praedia urbana etiam necessarium est.
[JULIANUS, Digest, book 41] Nothing prevents a right of way from being established in such a manner that a person may pass only during the day; which indeed is almost necessary in the case of urban estates.

Notes

  1. §8.4.14.prIter ... constitui — constitui is a present passive infinitive, and Iter is its subject accusative. Together they function as the object (or subject) of prohibet, forming an accusative-and-infinitive construction ("nothing prevents a right of way from being established").
  2. §8.4.14.prquod — Relative pronoun in the neuter nominative singular. Its antecedent is not a specific noun, but the entire content of the preceding clause ("establishing a right of way only during the day").
