De Salviano interdicto
(Concerning the Salvian Interdict.)
1 Iulianus libro quadragensimo nono digestorum. Si colonus ancillam in fundo pignoris nomine duxerit et eam vendiderit, quod apud emptorem ex ea natum est, eius adprehendendi gratia utile interdictum reddi oportet. 1Si colonus res in fundum duorum pignoris nomine intulerit, ita ut utrique in solidum obligatae essent, singuli adversus extraneum Salviano interdicto recte experientur: inter ipsos vero si reddatur hoc interdictum, possidentis condicio melior erit. at si id actum fuerit, ut pro partibus res obligaretur, utilis actio et adversus extraneos et inter ipsos dari debebit, per quam dimidias partes possessionis singuli adprehendent. 2Idem servari conveniet et si colonus rem, quam cum alio communem habebat, pignoris nomine induxerit, scilicet ut pro parte dimidia pignoris persecutio detur.
1 Julianus, Digest, Book XLIX. If a tenant on a farm brings a female slave on the land, for the purpose of pledging her, and afterwards sells her, an interdict should be granted in order to obtain possession of a child born to the said female slave while she was in the hands of the purchaser. 1If a tenant brings property on a farm, which is owned by two persons, for the purpose of pledging the same, with the understanding that it shall be jointly encumbered to both of them, each one can properly make use of the Salvian Interdict against a third party; but if this interdict is granted with reference to them alone, the position of the possessor will be preferable. If, however, it was agreed that the property should be equally encumbered to each of the joint-owners of the land, a prætorian action should be granted between them, and against other parties, by means of which each of the said joint-owners can obtain possession of half the property. 2It is proper that the same rule should be observed where a tenant brings property held in common with another upon the land, for the purpose of pledging the same, so that pursuit of the pledge may only be made for half of the value of the property in question.
2 Ulpianus libro septuagensimo ad edictum. In Salviano interdicto, si in fundum communem duorum pignera sint ab aliquo invecta, possessor vincet et erit eis descendendum ad Servianum iudicium.
2 Ulpianus, On the Edict, Book LXX. In the Salvian Interdict, if the property to be pledged is brought upon land belonging to two joint-owners, the party in possession will be preferred, and they must have recourse to the Servian Action.
