To Florus 2.183
If, however, he had intended to show generation infected by sin or subject to it, he would have said that sin entered not through one human being, but through two.
Latin
Ceterum si generationem peccato aut infectam aut obnoxiam voluisset ostendere, non dixisset per unum hominem intrasse peccatum, sed per duos.
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.
