[ULPIANUS libro sexto decimo ad edictum. ] §6.1.13.prNon solum autem rem restitui, uerum et si deterior res sit facta, rationem iudex habere debebit: finge enim debilitatum hominem uel uerberatum uel uulneratum restitui: utique ratio per iudicem habebitur, quanto deterior sit factus.
[ULPIANUS, in the sixteenth book on the Edict.] Moreover, not only must the thing be restored, but if the thing has been made worse, the judge will also have to take this into account: for imagine that a slave who has been weakened, beaten, or wounded is restored; in any case, account will be taken by the judge as to how much worse he has been made.
quamquam et legis Aquiliae actione conueniri possessor possit: unde quaeritur an non alias iudex aestimare damnum debeat, quam si remittatur actio legis Aquiliae.
Although the possessor can also be sued by the action under the Lex Aquilia; hence the question arises whether the judge ought not to assess the damage otherwise than if the action under the Lex Aquilia is waived.
et Labeo putat cauere petitorem oportere lege Aquilia non acturum, quae sententia uera est.
And Labeo thinks that the plaintiff ought to give security that he will not sue under the Lex Aquilia, which opinion is correct.
