probi vero
mores et anteactae vitae integritas nunquam non
plurimum profuerint. Si nihil obiicietur, patronus
quidem in hoc vehementer incumbet, accusator
autem ad praesentem quaestionem, de qua sola
iudicium sit, cognitionem adligabit dicens neminem
non aliquando coepisse peccare, nec per encaenia1
ducendum scelus primum.
1 Eacaceia is a feast in honour of the dedication of a new temple or building. the phrase is strange, but there seems no possibility of plausible emendation. the word is rare and not likely to be corrupt. pro is the reading of the best MSS.
