This section provisions that if a pledgee kills or injures a pledged slave, they can be sued under both the Lex Aquilia and the action on pledge, but the plaintiff must choose only one of them.
[PAULUS libro decimo ad Sabinum.]
[PAULUS, from the tenth book on Sabinus.]
Sed et si is qui pignori seruum accepit occidit eum uel uulnerauit, lege Aquilia et pigneraticia1 conueniri potest, sed alterutra2 contentus esse debebit actor.
But also if he who received a slave in pledge kills or wounds him, he can be sued under the Lex Aquilia and the action on pledge, but the plaintiff will have to be content with either one.
- 9.2.18.prlege Aquilia et pigneraticia
pigneraticia is a feminine singular ablative adjective, with the noun actione understood, meaning 'under the action on pledge'. This coordinates the delictual action under the Lex Aquilia with the contractual action on pledge (actio pigneraticia).
- 9.2.18.pralterutra
The feminine singular ablative of the pronominal adjective alteruter (one or the other of two). It serves as the complement of the adjective contentus (satisfied/content with), which governs the ablative case, agreeing with the understood feminine noun actione (or lege).
