1Pau­lus li­bro vi­cen­si­mo pri­mo ad edic­tum. Agri ci­vi­ta­tium alii vec­ti­ga­les vo­can­tur, alii non. vec­ti­ga­les vo­can­tur qui in per­pe­tuum lo­can­tur, id est hac le­ge, ut tam­diu pro his vec­ti­gal pen­da­tur, quam­diu ne­que ip­sis, qui con­du­xe­rint, ne­que his, qui in lo­cum eo­rum suc­ces­se­runt, au­fer­ri eos li­ceat: non vec­ti­ga­les sunt, qui ita co­len­di dan­tur, ut pri­va­tim agros nos­tros co­len­dos da­re so­le­mus. 1Qui in per­pe­tuum fun­dum fruen­dum con­du­xe­runt a mu­ni­ci­pi­bus, quam­vis non ef­fi­cian­tur do­mi­ni, ta­men pla­cuit com­pe­te­re eis in rem ac­tio­nem ad­ver­sus quem­vis pos­ses­so­rem, sed et ad­ver­sus ip­sos mu­ni­ci­pes,

1Paulus, On the Edict, Book XXI. Some lands belonging to towns are called “vectigales”, and others are not. Those are styled vectigales which are leased perpetually, that is to say, under an agreement that so long as the rent is paid for them it shall not be lawful to take them away from those who leased them, or from their successors. Lands are not of this description which are leased for cultivation under the terms by which we are accustomed to rent them privately for that purpose. 1Where parties lease land from municipalities in perpetuity, although they do not become the owners of the same it is established that they are, nevertheless, entitled to an action in rem against a possessor, and even against the members of the municipality themselves:

2Ul­pia­nus li­bro sep­ti­mo de­ci­mo ad Sa­binum. ita ta­men si vec­ti­gal sol­vant.

2Ulpianus, On Sabinus, Book XVII. Provided, however, they always pay the rent.

3Pau­lus li­bro vi­cen­si­mo pri­mo ad edic­tum. Idem est et si ad tem­pus ha­bue­rint con­duc­tum nec tem­pus con­duc­tio­nis fi­ni­tum sit.

3Paulus, On the Edict, Book XXI. The same rule applies where they have made a lease for a specified time, and the term agreed upon has not yet expired.
