[9] Mira in quibusdam rebus verborum proprietas est et consuetudo sermonis antiqui quaedam efficacissimis et officia docentibus notis signat. Sic certe solemus loqui: "ille illi gratiam rettulit." Referre est ultro, quod debeas, adferre. Non dicimus " gratiam reddidit," reddunt enim et qui reposcuntur et qui inviti et qui ubilibet et qui per alium. Non dicimus "reposuit beneficium" aut "solvit"; nullum nobis placuit, quod aeri alieno convenit, verbum.
