[45] multa dantur ei qui vi alterum detrusisse dicitur; quorum si unum quodlibet¹ probare iudici potuerit, etiam si confessus erit se vi deiecisse, vincat necesse est vel non possedisse eum qui deiectus sit, vel vi ab se possedisse, vel clam, vel precario². ei qui de vi confessus esset tot defensiones tamen ad causam obtinendam maiores reliquerunt.

[45] The man who is said to have driven another away by violence has many pleas of defence allowed him, (and if he can prove any one of them to the satisfaction of the judge, then, even if he confesses that he drove him out by violence, he must gain his cause,) either that he who has been driven out was not the owner, or that he had got possession from him himself by violence, or by stealth, or as a present. Our ancestors left so many pleas of defence, by which he might gain his cause, even to the man who confessed himself guilty of violence.
