" Primum alia condicio est in credito, alia
in beneficio. Pecuniae etiam male creditae exactio
est ; et appellare debitorem ad diem possum et, si
foro cesserit, portionem feram ; beneficium et totum
perit et statim. Praeterea hoc mali viri est, illud
mali patris familiae. Deinde ne Zeno quidem, si
maior fuisset summa, credere perseverasset. Quingenti denarii sunt : illud quod dici solet, " in morbo consumat " ; fuit tanti non revocare promissum
suum.
