Ulpian explains that the Lex Aquilia applies to the unlawful killing of a slave, noting that it is not mere killing but the unlawfulness of the act that is required.
[ULPIANUS libro octauo decimo ad edictum.]
[ULPIAN, from the eighteenth book on the Edict.]
Si seruus seruaue iniuria1 occisus occisaue fuerit, lex Aquilia locum habet.2 iniuria occisum3 esse merito adicitur: non enim sufficit occisum, sed oportet iniuria id esse factum.
If a male or female slave has been unlawfully killed, the Lex Aquilia applies. It is with good reason added that they must be “unlawfully killed”; for it is not enough that they were killed, but it is necessary that this was done unlawfully.
- 9.2.3.priniuria
The ablative singular form of the noun "iniuria" (injury, injustice), used here adverbially to mean "unlawfully" or "wrongfully".
- 9.2.3.prlocum habet
Literally "has a place," which is an idiomatic expression in legal contexts meaning "applies" or "comes into play."
- 9.2.3.proccisum
An accusative infinitive clause acting as the subject of "non enim sufficit" (for it is not sufficient), with "esse" omitted, representing "occisum [esse]" (that [the slave] was killed).
