Prove that the derivative of the relativistic angular momentum is the relativistic torque

In the book "relativity" by Vincenzo Barone, the relativistic angular momentum tensor is defined as: $L^{ij}= x^ip^j - x^jp^i$ (With the indexes $i,j$ going from 0 to 3) And the relativistic torque tensor … : $\frac{dL^{ij}}{ds} = N^{ij}$ But if you derive the momentum with respect to the path element d$s$ you should end up with four terms (two for each term of $\mathbf L$) of which two are those of the torque
