est interim certa finitio, de qua inter utramnque partem convenit: ut Cicero dicit, maiestas est rei imperii atque rei nominis populi Romani dignitate. quaeritur tamen, an maiestas minuta sit, ut rei causa Cornelii quaesitum est. sed hic etiamsi videri potest finitiva, tamen quia de finitione non ambigitur, iudicatio est qualitatis atque ad eum potius status reducenda, ad cuius forte quidem venimus mentionem, sed erat ordine proximus locus.
