"If any person from outside the gens killed a gentile member, the obligation of blood revenge rested on the entire gens of the slain man."

Я бы сказал, это слишком вольное употребление термина "кровная месть", или, по крайней мере в этом случае, она не являлась нормой права. Именно потому, что смысл обычая кровной мести - в ограничении насилия путём ограничения круга лиц, имеющих "право" мести. А тут никакого ограничения. Вся толпа может прийти разбираться - с другой такой же толпой, естественно.


"First, mediation was tried; the gens of the slayer sat in council, and made proposals of settlement to the council of the gens of the slain, usually offering expressions of regret and presents of considerable value. If these were accepted, the matter was disposed of. In the contrary case, the wronged gens appointed one or more avengers, whose duty it was to pursue and kill the slayer. If this was accomplished, the gens of the slayer had no ground of complaint; accounts were even and closed."

Ну то есть явочным порядком и от случая к случаю всё решалось.
