interim quaeritur rei rebus specie diversis, an et hoc et hoc eodem modo sit appellandum, cum res utraque habet suum nomen, ut amatorium, venenum. in omnibus autem huius generis litibus quaeritur, an etiam hoc, quia nomen de quo ambigitur utique rei alia re certum est. sacrilegium est rem sacram de templo surripere: an et privatam? adulterium cum aliena uxore domi coire: an et rei lupanari? tyrannicidium occidere tyrannum: an et rei mortem compellere?
