Paulus discusses the geographical and temporal application of the edict on thrown things, the occupier's liability for their household's fault, and the granting of an actio utilis against the person in charge of a ship.
[PAULUS libro nono decimo ad edictum.]
[PAULUS in the nineteenth book on the Edict.]
Hoc edictum non tantum ad ciuitates et uicos, sed et1 ad uias, per quas uolgo iter fit, pertinet.
This edict pertains not only to cities and villages, but also to roads through which people commonly travel.
Labeo ait locum habere2 hoc edictum, si interdiu deiectum sit, non nocte: sed quibusdam locis et nocte iter fit.
Labeo says that this edict applies if something was thrown down by day, not by night; but in certain places, travel occurs also by night.
Habitator suam suorumque3 culpam praestare debet.
The occupier must answer for his own fault and that of his household.
Si de naue deiectum sit, dabitur actio utilis4 in eum qui naui praepositus sit.
If something was thrown down from a ship, an actio utilis will be given against the person in charge of the ship.
- 9.3.6.prsed et
The conjunction sed et is used in the sense of sed etiam ("but also"), correlating with the preceding non tantum ("not only").
- 9.3.6.1locum habere
The idiom locum habere is a technical legal expression meaning "to apply" or "to be applicable."
- 9.3.6.2suorum
The genitive plural form suorum (from the possessive suus) is used substantively to refer to "his own people" (including family, slaves, or employees).
- 9.3.6.3actio utilis
An actio utilis (analogous or adapted action) is a legal remedy extended by the praetor to cover cases (like throwing from a ship) that fall outside the strict wording of the original edict (which applied only to buildings) but share the same legal rationale.
