Yet perhaps even this rule is not
without exceptions. For example, （a） suppose one has been ransomed from
brigands; ought one to ransom one's ransomer in turn, whoever he may be—or even
if he has not been captured himself but asks for his money back, ought one to repay
him— or ought one to ransom one's own father? for it might be thought to
be a man's duty to ransom his father even before himself.
Aristotle in 23 Volumes, Vol. 19, translated by H. Rackham. Cambridge, MA, Harvard University Press; London, William Heinemann Ltd. 1934.
