Ratio of the order

For the sake of preserving our thing.
On force and armed force. 16. l. 2. Otherwise called "whence by force." By this interdict, he who dispossessed [another] is compelled to restore possession to him who was dispossessed. It is therefore an interdict prepared for the sake of recovering possession.
"As you possess" original: "Vti possidetis". 17. l. 4. It is an interdict for retaining possession: it is competent when there is a controversy from both sides about the ownership of some thing, and in it one contends about the possession of an estate or land.
On surfaces original: "De superficiebus". 18. l. 2. Or on superficies. This interdict is competent to a superficiarius one who builds on another's land, who has built on another's ground, which he leased from the owner with the condition that he might build upon it, and keep the building for himself in perpetuity or for several years in exchange for an annual ground rent original: "solario".
For the sake of preserving our right.

On remissions. 25. l. 1. When these have been obtained from the Praetor after a notification of work was made to us (of which we spoke above in Book 39, Title), if we have done anything, it will not be said to have been done by force. A remission is an abolition of the notification.
On precarium gloss: a precarious loan or grant. 26. l. 22. It is given to him who granted by precarium, that is, when asked, against him who retains it for that cause.

An action, moreover, is the right of pursuing in judgment that which is owed to us.

SEVENTH [PART].
LIB. XLV.

Actions descending from stipulations and verbal obligations in general, which are either contracted in one's own name. For above we have seen about actions which come from those contracts which were perfected either by the thing itself or by consent.
On verbal obligations. 1. l. 141. That is, stipulations. Stipulation is said to be either from stipulus firm/sturdy or from stips money which we are accustomed to stipulate. Stipulations are either Praetorian, judicial, of giving, of doing, certain, uncertain, pure, or conditional. It consists, however, of interrogation and response: its effects are a condiction for a certain thing, and an action from a stipulation, which error, dissent, a base stipulated thing, or a form not observed vitiates.
On constituting two defendants original: "duobus reis". 2. l. 19. Namely, of stipulating or of promising. A defendant original: "reus" is so called because the matter concerns him. Those who stipulate that the same thing be given to them are called defendants of stipulation. Those who promise the same thing are called defendants of owing.
On the stipulation of slaves. 3. l. 40. By which it is permitted to stipulate for their masters
