Against Julian 3.22.51
Where is the original evil?
Why is a human being whom God made under the devil?
What does the devil recognize there as his own, if he created neither what was made nor that from which it was made?
Among so many good things, where does the evil in infants come from?
Latin
ubi sit originale malum
unde sit homo sub diabolo, quem Deus fecit?
Quid ibi cognoscit - inquis - diabolus suum, si nec quod factum, nec unde factum est, ipse condidit?
inter tot bona, unde sit in parvulis malum
