Institutes of Roman Law
Holder of an emphyteusis (long-term hereditary land right), discussed as a disputed case regarding possession.
The real right of the emphyteuta must not, however, be confounded with his possession, for, like ownership and possession, they are two distinct legal relations, the one being protected by the actio in rem, the other by a possessory interdict.
Ancient Law
The tenant holder of land under an Emphyteusis, recognized by the Prætor as a qualified proprietor.
In fact, a sort of garrison-duty, under a system closely resembling that of the military colonies on the Austro-Turkish border, had taken the place of the quit-rent which was the service of the ordinary Emphyteuta.
