On the action modeled on the Lex Aquilia granted to a usufructuary and its valuation, if the owner of the property wounds or kills a slave subject to the usufruct.
[PAULUS libro decimo ad Sabinum.]
[PAULUS, from the tenth book on Sabinus.]
Sed et si proprietatis dominus1 uulnerauerit seruum uel occiderit, in quo usus fructus meus est, danda est mihi ad exemplum legis Aquiliae actio2 in eum pro portione usus fructus, ut etiam ea pars3 anni in aestimationem ueniat, qua nondum usus fructus meus fuit.
But even if the owner of the property has wounded or killed a slave in whom I have a usufruct, an action modeled on the Lex Aquilia must be given to me against him in proportion to my usufruct, so that even that part of the year in which my usufruct did not yet exist may come into the valuation.
- 9.2.12.prproprietatis dominus
Refers to the "bare owner" (nudus dominus), who holds the ownership (proprietas) of the slave but has yielded the right of usufruct to another, here contrasted with the usufructuary.
- 9.2.12.prad exemplum legis Aquiliae actio
An expression referring to an analogous action (actio utilis), which is granted by the praetor through an extension of the civil law statutory action (actio directa) under the Lex Aquilia to non-owners like usufructuaries.
- 9.2.12.prut etiam ea pars...
An adverbial clause of purpose introduced by the conjunction 'ut'. Under the Lex Aquilia, the valuation for killing a slave is based on the highest value in the preceding year. This clause ensures that the calculation includes the time before the plaintiff's usufruct actually began. The ablative relative 'qua' refers to 'ea pars anni'.
