To Florus 2.110
This explanation agrees with reason and destroys your position. This very point compels you to admit that, in all the preceding words, the apostle did not speak of the sin of Manichaean inherited transmission, since in mentioning grace he showed that many sins are forgiven (compare Romans 5:16) (Romans 5:16).
Latin
Quae expositio ut rationi concinit, ita vos destruit; hoc enim ipso confiteri tibi necesse est in omnibus superioribus verbis Apostolum de peccato Manichaeae traducis non locutum, quando in commemoratione gratiae multa absolvi peccata monstravit.
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.
