• HOMICIDE

1. hominis caedes, or, from context, caedes only: homicidium (post-Augustan, Quint., Plin.): mors alicui sed non per scelus illata (after Cic., Mil., 7, 17; to distinguish it from the crime of murder). To be guilty of homicide, hominis caedem facere; hominem caedere, interficere. To be only guilty of homicide (not of murder), tantum homicidam esse (Sen., though not in our sense); perhaps mortem alicui, sed non per scelus, inferre (mortem per scelus inferre, Cic., Mil., 7, 17): to be put on his trial for homicide, homicidii accusari (Quint.).

2. (the person), homicida: qui hominem interfecit, etc. (Vid: preceding word): *qui mortem alicui, sed non per scelus intulit.
