[95] aut si alteram ita lau- det, ut alterius non faciat mentionem; aut si, cum de certa re quaeretur, de communi instituetur oratio, ut, si quis, cum aliqui deliberent, bellum gerant an non, pacem laudet omnino, non illud bellum inutile esse demonstret; aut si ratio alicuius rei reddetur falsa, hoc modo: ‘pecunia bonum est, propterea quod ea maxime vitam beatam efficiat;’ aut infirma, ut Plautus:

Amicum castigare ob meritam noxiam,
Immune est facinus; verum in aetate utile
Et conducibile; nam ego amicum hodie meum
Concastigabo pro commerita noxia;
aut eadem, hoc modo: ‘malum est avaritia; multos enim magnis incommodis affecit pecuniae cupiditas;’ aut parum idonea, hoc modo: ‘maximum bonum est amicitia; plurimae enim delectationes sunt in amicitia.’
