There is, however, another line of argument which may be drawn
from the enactment that the person condemned for
treason should be banished together with his
advocate. It seems almost impossible that in one
and the same case a son should incur a penalty,
[p. 41]
both if he appeared in his father's defence and if
he did not appear. Further, exiles are outlaws.
Therefore the letter of the law cannot conceivably apply to the advocate of the condemned
man.
