To Florus 1.121
For no one remains to help the guilty when the one who alone is God, from a desire to create misery, punishes even those in whom he recognizes nothing except what he himself made.
Latin
Non est enim qui subveniat reis, quando ipse, qui est unus, desiderio creandarum miseriarum etiam eos punit, in quibus nihil aliud quam hoc, quod ipse fecit, agnoscit.
About this text
Julian’s six preserved books to Florus, quoted section by section in Augustine’s unfinished reply. Augustine’s refutations are omitted. Latin of Julian’s words is on each section.
Julian’s own books do not survive as a separate manuscript. English follows his words as Augustine quotes them in the Unfinished Work Against Julian. Augustine’s replies are omitted. We do not restore a Julian text independent of Augustine.
