Against Julian 3.13.26
Its general kind lies in the fire of life; its particular form in the movement of the sexual organs; its proper measure in marital intercourse; its excess in the lack of restraint involved in sexual immorality.
Latin
huius genus esse
in igne vitali, speciem in motu genitali, modum in opere coniugali, excessum in intemperantia fornicandi
