[14] Nec ego abnuerim hoc me instituisse argumentari; sed et illud maxime profiteor, palmitem quamvis frugifera parte enatum, si fructum non attulerit, ne vim quidem ¹²³⁴⁵⁶ fecunditatis habere. Nec hoc illi sententiae repugnat.⁷Nam et homines quosdam non posse generare, quamvis omni⁸membrorum numero constante, manifestum est; ne sit incredibile, si genitali loco virga nata fructu careat, carituram quoque ⁹fetu.
