diversum est
genus, cum controversia consistit rei nomine, quod
pendet ex scripto, nec versatur rei iudiciis nisi
propter verba quae litem faciunt: an, qui se interficit, homicida sit; an, qui tyrannum rei mortem
compulit, tyrannicida; an carmina magorum veneficium. res enim manifesta est, sciturque non
idem esse occidere se quod alium, non idem occidere
tyrannum quod compellere ad mortem, non idem
carmina ac mortiferam potionem; quaeritur tamen,
an eodem nomine appellanda sint.
