To Florus 2.197
He added that death reigned in that all sinned (Romans 5:12). This expression describes not the ruin of someone being born but the works of someone acting. He thus proved that he accuses perversity and does not wound innocence.
Latin
Subiunxit in eo regnasse mortem, in quo omnes peccaverunt [n311] , quo sermone non nascentis ruina, sed opera agentis expressa est. Approbavit se itaque pravitatem arguere nec innocentiam sauciare.
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.
