[9] quod si xii¹ tabulae nocturnum furem quoquo modo, diurnum autem, si se telo defenderet², interfici impune voluerunt, quis est qui, quoquo modo quis interfectus sit³, puniendum putet, cum videat aliquando gladium nobis⁴ ad hominem occidendum⁵ ab ipsis porrigi legibus? 4 atqui, si tempus est ullum iure hominis necandi, quae multa sunt, certe illud est non modo iustum verum etiam necessarium, cum vi vis inlata defenditur. pudicitiam cum eriperet militi tribunus militaris in exercitu C. Mari, propinquus eius imperatoris, interfectus ab eo est cui vim adferebat; facere enim probus adulescens periculose quam perpeti turpiter maluit. atque hunc ille summus vir scelere⁶ solutum periculo liberavit.
