Where anyone plants a vineyard, or builds a house, upon the land of any of his co-heirs, whether the owner of the same is ignorant of the fact, or consents to it, (even if he who planted said vineyard, or built said house, was ignorant of what part of said land belonged to his co-heirs), when he shall establish this, either by his own oath, or by the testimony of witnesses, he shall give to the owner upon whose premises he planted the vineyard, an equal quantity of land of the same value, and shall remain secure in the possession of the vineyard which he planted. If, however, he should plant said vineyard against the consent of the owner, he shall forfeit all right to the same. The same rule shall apply to buildings of every description. We also decree that if anyone should sell, give away, or exchange, land belonging to another; as soon as it shall be discovered that he had no title to the same, and if he who received said land should have built a house upon it, or should have planted a vineyard, olive-grove, garden, or orchard therein; or should have added anything to the value of said land by his labor; and the party to whom said land belongs should delay to claim it; or should be ignorant that it had been so disposed of; or should be unwilling to assert his rights to the same, in order to thereafter reap the benefit of the additional value it has acquired from the labor of another; when the said owner shall establish his title to said land in court, he shall receive another similar tract, double in value, from the party who made the illegal sale or transfer, and he who improved said land shall under no circumstances lose the fruits of his toil. =VII. Where one Person Plants a Vineyard on the Land of Another, to which he has no Title.= Whoever plants a vineyard upon the land of another, who is not his co-heir, without the permission of said owner, either by force, or when said owner was ignorant of the fact, or absent (even if he should not have been forbidden to do so), shall lose the vineyard that he planted; for the reason that he ought to know that whoever appropriates the property of another should not profit twofold by his illegal act. =VIII. Concerning the Division of Lands Made Between Goths and Romans.= A division of arable lands or forests made between Goths and Romans, shall under no circumstances be interfered with, provided said division shall be proved to have been publicly made, and no Roman shall take, or claim for himself, any part of the two thirds of said land allotted to a Goth in said division; nor shall any Goth dare to seize, or claim for himself, any of the third part of said land allotted to a Roman, unless it should have been bestowed upon him by our generosity; and any division made between parents or neighbors shall not be disturbed by their posterity. =IX. Concerning Forests Still Undivided Among Goths and Romans.=
