prius incipiendum est a refutatione. nascuntur autem ex his, quae contradictioni opposuimus,
aliae contradictiones, euntque interim longius; ut
gladiatorum manus, quae secundae vocantur, fiunt

prolata erat, et quartae, si geminata captatio est, ut
bis cavere, bis repetere oportuerit; quae ratio et
ultra ducit.
