Justinian I · The Digest of Justinian §8.6.2.pr

Preservation of the Right to Drive Through Walking Alone

Passage 1488 of 9271 · Latin

Summary

Paulus reports the opinion of Sabinus, Cassius, and Octavenus that if a holder of both a right of passage and of driving only exercises the right of passage, the right of driving is not lost, since driving inherently includes passage.

[PAULUS libro uicensimo primo ad edictum. ] §8.6.2.prQui iter et actum habet, si statuto tempore tantum ierit, non perisse actum, sed manere Sabinus Cassius Octauenus aiunt: nam ire quoque per se eum posse qui actum haberet.
[PAULUS, from the twenty-first book on the edict.] If someone who has a right of passage and of driving has only walked during the statutory period, Sabinus, Cassius, and Octavenus say that the right of driving has not been lost, but remains; for he who has the right of driving can also walk by himself.

Notes

  1. §8.6.2.prnon perisse actum, sed manere — An accusative with infinitive clause functioning as the object of the main verb aiunt. The form perisse is a syncopated form of periisse (perfect active infinitive of perire).
  2. §8.6.2.prnam ire quoque per se eum posse qui actum haberet — An accusative with infinitive clause in indirect discourse introduced by the causal conjunction nam. The pronoun eum is the subject accusative of the infinitive posse. The verb haberet in the relative clause qui actum haberet is in the subjunctive (imperfect) because it is a subordinate clause in indirect discourse (suboblique subjunctive).
