[IDEM libro septuagensimo ad edictum. ] §8.5.3.prSed et si partem fundi quis emerit, idem dicendum est.
[THE SAME, book 70 on the Edict] But also if anyone should buy a part of the land, the same must be said.
Justinian I · The Digest of Justinian §8.5.3.pr
Application of Way Rules to a Buyer of Part of Land
Summary
It states that the same legal principles, such as the availability of interdicts, apply to someone who buys only a part of the land, just as they do to a buyer of the whole.
Notes
- §8.5.3.pridem dicendum est — Meaning "the same must be said." This indicates that the rule mentioned at the end of the previous section (§8.5.2.3)—whereby the interdict (interdictum) is available to a buyer (emptori)—applies equally to one who has purchased only "a part of the land" (partem fundi ... emerit).
- §8.5.3.premerit — The third-person singular future perfect indicative (or perfect subjunctive) of the verb emere (to buy). In the conditional clause (si-clause), it assumes the completion of a future action. The subject is the indefinite pronoun quis (anyone).
