[THE SAME, Book 22 on the Edict]

§9.4.10.pr

​Sed et eo nomine agere cum socio poterit, quod1 seruum communem deteriorem fecit, quemadmodum cum quolibet alio, qui rem communem deteriorem fecisset. ceterum si nihil praeterea post noxae deditionem commune habebit, pro socio uel, si socii non fuerunt, in factum agi poterit.

​But he will also be able to sue his partner on that very account, namely, that the partner made the common slave worse, just as he could against any other person who had made a common thing worse. Furthermore, if he has nothing else in common after the surrender for damage, an action can be brought on the partnership, or, if they were not partners, an action on the case.
