Iniuria propositum hoc habet
aliquem malo adficere ; malo autem sapientia non
relinquit locum, unum enim illi malum est turpitudo,
quae intrare eo ubi iam virtus honestumque est non
potest. Ergo, si iniuria sine malo nulla est, malum
nisi turpe nullum est, turpe autem ad honestis
occupatum pervenire non potest, iniuria ad sapientem
non pervenit. Nam si iniuria alicuius mali patientia
est, sapiens autem nullius mali est patiens, nulla ad
sapientem iniuria pertinet.
