To Florus 4.99
Then your concession that sin does not exist without will is false, if, although committed through will, it could nevertheless pass to others without will.
Latin
Falsum est ergo quod concesseras, non esse sine voluntate peccatum; si licet commissum sit per voluntatem, tamen ad alios potuit sine voluntate transire.
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.
