To Florus 3.59
If, however, you say that one form of baptism consecrates people of different ages, you will admit, even if I say nothing, that it contains no mention of infected generation, diabolical flesh, or Adam. Although this does not concern the transmission of sin, we shall nevertheless answer it fully in its own place.
Latin
Si autem dixeris, quia una est forma baptismatis, qua diversae aetatis homines consecrantur, fateberis etiam me tacente commemorationem ibi nec generationis infectae nec carnis diabolicae nec Adae aliquam contineri; ad quod tamen suo loco, quamvis ad traducem non spectet, plene responsuri sumus.
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.
