In the case of mixed silver, this section explains the applicability of the actions for division of common property, production, and theft, as well as the criteria for evaluating the price and determining the shares in each action.
[PAULUS libro uicensimo primo ad edictum.]
[PAULUS, in the twenty-first book on the Edict.]
Quo quidem casu etiam communi diuidundo agi poterit: sed et furti et ad exhibendum tenebitur, qui dolo malo confundendum id argentum curauit:1 ita ut in ad exhibendum actione pretii ratio haberi debeat, in uindicatione uel communi diuidundo actione hoc amplius ferat, cuius argentum pretiosius fuerat.2
In which case indeed, an action can also be brought for the division of common property; but he who, by malicious intent, took care that the silver should be mixed together, shall be held liable both for theft and for production; so that in the action for production, account must be taken of the price, and in the claim for recovery or the action for the division of common property, he whose silver was of greater value shall receive that much more.
- 6.1.4.prconfundendum id argentum curauit
The combination of the verb curare with the accusative of the gerundive (confundendum) expresses a causative action, meaning "took care that the silver should be mixed" or "caused the silver to be mixed."
- 6.1.4.prhoc amplius ferat, cuius argentum pretiosius fuerat
The antecedent pronoun (is) of the relative pronoun cuius is omitted, forming the structure is ferat, cuius... ("he whose silver was... shall receive"). hoc is an ablative of measure of difference, meaning "by this much more."
