[104]
hoc genus argumentorum sane dicamus
ex circumstantia, quia περίστασιν dicere aliter non
possumus, vel ex iis quae cuiusque causae propria
sunt: ut in illo adultero sacerdote, qui lege, qua
unius servandi potestatem habebat, se ipse servare
voluit, proprium controversiae est dicere, Non unum
nocentem servabas, quia te dimisso adulteram occidere
non licebat. hoc enim argumentum lex facit, quae
prohibet adulteram sine adultero occidere.
