traditum fere est argumentum oportere esse
confessum; dubiis enim probari dubia qui possunt
Quaedam tamen, quae in alterius rei probationem
ducimus, ipsa probanda sunt. occidisti virum, eras
enim adultera. prius de adulterio convincendum
est ut, cum id coeperit esse pro certo, fiat incerti
argumentum. spiculum tuum in corpore occisi
inventum est; negat suum: ut probationi prosit,
probandum est.
