It is ruled that when a free person is injured by thrown or poured objects, medical expenses and lost labor are calculated as damages, but no valuation is made for scars or deformity, since a free body cannot be valued in money.
[GAIUS libro sexto ad edictum prouinciale.]
[GAIUS in the sixth book on the provincial Edict.]
Cum liberi hominis corpus ex eo, quod deiectum effusumue quid erit,1 laesum fuerit, iudex computat mercedes medicis praestitas ceteraque impendia, quae in curatione facta sunt, praeterea operarum,2 quibus caruit aut cariturus est3 ob id, quod inutilis factus est. cicatricium autem aut deformitatis nulla fit aestimatio, quia liberum corpus nullam recipit aestimationem.
When the body of a free person has been injured by something that was thrown down or poured out, the judge calculates the fees paid to the physicians and the other expenses incurred in the treatment, and furthermore [the value] of the labor which he has lost or is going to lose because he has been rendered incapacitated. However, no valuation is made of scars or deformity, because a free body admits of no valuation.
- 9.3.7.prdeiectum effusumue quid erit
quid is an indefinite pronoun equivalent to aliquid ('something') and serves as the subject within the substantive clause introduced by the conjunction quod. deiectum effusumue is in the nominative neuter singular, agreeing with quid.
- 9.3.7.properarum
Genitive plural. Although positioned in parallel with mercedes and impendia (accusative direct objects of the transitive verb computat), operarum is in the genitive, implying the omission of a noun like aestimationem (valuation, accusative) or functioning as a genitive of value ('the value of the labor').
- 9.3.7.prquibus caruit aut cariturus est
The relative pronoun quibus is in the ablative plural, referring to the antecedent operarum. The ablative case is governed by the verb carere ('to lack', 'to be deprived of'), which regularly takes the ablative of separation.
