at vero hoc quidem iam vetus est et maiorum exemplo
multis in rebus usitatum, cum ad vim faciendam veniretur,
si quos armatos quamvis procul conspexissent, ut statim
testificati discederent, cum optime sponsionem facere possent,
“ni adversvs edictvm praetoris vis facta esset.” itane
vero? scire esse armatos satis est ut vim factam probes; in
manus eorum incidere non est satis? aspectus armatorum
ad vim probandam valebit; incursus et impetus non valebit?
qui abierit, facilius sibi vim factam probabit quam qui
effugerit?
