Dig. 9,2,37Iavolenus libro quarto decimo ex Cassio. Liber homo si iussu alterius manu iniuriam dedit, actio legis Aquiliae cum eo est qui iussit, si modo ius imperandi habuit: quod si non habuit, cum eo agendum est qui fecit. 1Si quadrupes, cuius nomine actio esset cum domino, quod pauperiem fecisset, ab alio occisa est et cum eo lege Aquilia agitur, aestimatio non ad corpus quadrupedis, sed ad causam eius (in quo de pauperie actio est) referri debet et tanti damnandus est is qui occidit iudicio legis Aquiliae, quanti actoris interest noxae potius deditione defungi quam litis aestimatione.
Javolenus, On Cassius, Book XIV. Ad Dig. 9,2,37 pr.Windscheid: Lehrbuch des Pandektenrechts, 7. Aufl. 1891, Bd. II, § 455, Note 27.Where a freeman committed an injury with his own hands by order of another, an action under the Lex Aquilia can be brought against the party who gave the order; provided he had the right of commanding; but if he did not have it, proceedings must be instituted against the party who committed the act. 1Where a quadruped, on account of which a right of action exists against its owner because it has committed damage, is killed by another party against whom suit is then brought under the Lex Aquilia, the estimation of the value of said animal must be made, not with reference to what it is actually worth, but to the circumstances under which the right of action for damages exists; and the party who killed the animal must have judgment rendered against him in a suit under the Lex Aquilia to the amount of the interest the plaintiff had to settle the case through surrendering the animal by way of reparation, rather than by paying the damages which have been estimated.
Dig. 35,2,60Iavolenus libro quarto decimo ex Cassio. Cum pater impuberi filiae heredem substituit, id quod ei legatorum nomine a patre obvenit, cum hereditas ad substitutos pertinet, in computationem legis Falcidiae non venit. 1Legato petito cum in litem iuratum est, ratio legis Falcidiae non eius summae, in quam legatarius iuravit, haberi debet, sed eius, quanti re vera id fuit quod petitum est: nam id quod poenae causa adcrevit in legem Falcidiam non incidit.
Javolenus, On Cassius, Book XIV. Where a father substitutes an heir for his daughter, who has not yet arrived at puberty, any property which has been received as a legacy by the substitute from the father will not, when the estate passes to the former, be included in the computation made to ascertain the proportion due under the Falcidian Law. 1Where a legacy is claimed, and an oath was made in court by the legatee, the amount due under the Falcidian Law shall not be ascertained from the sum to which the legatee has made oath, but from the true value of the property which is claimed; for what accrues by way of penalty does not come within the scope of the Falcidian Law.
Dig. 39,5,24Iavolenus libro quarto decimo ex Cassio. Fideiussori eius, qui donationis causa pecuniam supra modum legis promisit, exceptio dari debet etiam invito reo, ne, si forte reus solvendo non fuerit, pecuniam fideiussor amittat.
Javolenus, On Cassius, Book XIV. An exception should be granted to the surety of him who, for the purpose of making a donation, promised a sum of money greater than that authorized by law, even against the consent of the principal; for if the latter should not be solvent, the surety will lose the money.
Dig. 50,16,113Idem libro quarto decimo ex Cassio. ‘Morbus sonticus’ est, qui cuique rei nocet.
