Retention of Servitude Through Exercise by Third Parties

Notes

1. §8.6.5.prnobis — The dative nobis used with the passive verb retinetur can be interpreted either as a dative of agent ('retained by us') or, more commonly, as a dative of advantage ('retained for us'), indicating the landowners who hold the servitude.
2. §8.6.5.pret per socium et fructuarium et bonae fidei possessorem — The preposition per governs the accusatives socium, fructuarium, and possessorem (modified by the genitive bonae fidei). It indicates that the exercise of a servitude, which prevents its loss by non-use, can be performed through these third parties acting on behalf of or in relation to the owner.
