“118 – 138 π Hadrian in Dig. XXXXVIII.8.1.3 Marcianus libro quarto decimo institutionum Divus Hadrianus rescripsit eum, qui hominem occidit, si non occidendi animo hoc admisit, absolvi posse, et qui hominem non occidit, sed vulneravit, ut occidat, pro homicida damnandum: et ex re constituendum hoc: nam si gladium strinxerit et in eo percusserit, indubitate occidendi animo id eum admisisse: sed si clavi percussit aut cucuma in rixa, quamvis ferro percusserit, tamen non occidendi animo. leniendam poenam eius, qui in rixa casu magis quam voluntate homicidium admisit.”

Godly Hadrian wrote in a rescript concerning him who smote a man that he can be absolved if this is not by intent to kill, and who did not smite him but wounded him that he smite him is to be convicted for homicide: and from the said thing has to be constituted: when he touched him with the sword and smote him by this, without doubt intent to kill him has to be admitted: but when he hit him with a key or a kettle in a brawl, though he hit him with iron, nonetheless he hasn’t done it with the intent to kill. To be lightened is the punishment of him who has allowed in a brawl rather by accident than by intent a killing.
