[GAIUS in his fifth book on the Provincial Edict.] just as also an innkeeper must answer for the acts of travellers.
Justinian I · The Digest of Justinian §4.9.2.pr
Liability of Innkeepers for Acts of Travellers
Summary
Following Ulpian's discussion on the liability of shipowners, Gaius points out that an innkeeper is similarly liable for the acts of travellers.
Notes
- 4.9.2.prsicut et caupo uiatorum — This fragment must be understood by supplying the ellipsis of the noun `factum` (acts) and the verb `praestare debet` (must answer for) from the end of the preceding section (D. 4.9.1.8: `factum ... uectorum`). The genitive plural `uiatorum` (of travellers) modifies the understood noun `factum`.
