Aquilian Action for Death After an Action for Injury

Passage 1563 of 9271 · Latin

Summary

Discusses that even if an action under the Lex Aquilia has been brought for a wounded slave, another action under the same law can still be brought if the slave subsequently dies of that wound.

[ULPIANUS libro quinquagensimo ad Sabinum. ] §9.2.46.prSi uulnerato seruo lege Aquilia actum sit, postea mortuo ex eo vulnere agi lege Aquilia nihilo minus potest.
[ULPIANUS, in the fiftieth book on Sabinus.] If an action has been brought under the Lex Aquilia for a wounded slave, and afterwards he dies of that wound, an action can nonetheless be brought under the Lex Aquilia.

Notes

  1. §9.2.46.pruulnerato seruo — Ablative accompanying the impersonal passive actum sit ("an action has been brought"). It can be interpreted either as an ablative absolute ("the slave having been wounded") or as an ablative of object/respect with the preposition de omitted ("concerning the wounded slave").
  2. §9.2.46.prmortuo — An ablative absolute with the noun seruo understood from the preceding clause as its subject (seruo mortuo...).
