Julian excerpts
Against Julian 6.1.2
Those who either neglected to learn what ought to be known, or are unafraid to condemn what they do not know.
In the noonday of discovered truth, without the shadow of ignorance, you rave through envy of me.
Envy immediately torments the very author from whom it arises.
One and the same vice cannot be both sin and punishment for sin.
Latin
qui vel supersederunt scienda cognoscere, vel non formidant ignorata culpare
Sed invidendo tibi, in quadam meridie compertae veritatis sine obumbramento ignorationis - ut loqueris - insanimus
protinus ipsum de quo oritur vexat auctorem?
unum idemque vitium peccatum poenamque peccati esse non posse
