Furem, hoc est
praedonem et latronem, luce occidi vetant xii tabulae; cum
intra parietes tuos hostem certissimum teneas, nisi se telo
defendit1, inquit, etiam si cum telo venerit, nisi utetur telo eo
ac repugnabit, non occides; quod si2 repugnat, '“endoplorato”,' hoc est conclamato, ut aliqui audiant et conveniant.
quid ad hanc clementiam addi potest, qui ne hoc quidem
permiserint, ut domi suae caput suum sine testibus et arbitris3
ferro defendere liceret?
