utrum lex de incesta tantum sit, uel quae deiciatur nec pereat; an etiam damnata, si innocens post damnationem adparuit, deici debeat. an haec innocens sit; an haec deorum adiutorio seruata sit; CESTIVS et illas subiunxit huic ultimae quaestioni: an dii inmortales rerum humanarum curam agant; etiamsi agunt, an singulorum agant; si singulorum agunt, an huius egerint. Improbabat ALBVCIVM, quod haec non tamquam particulas incurrentes in quaestionem tractasset, sed tamquam problemata filosofumena. FVSCVS ARELLIVS pater sic diuisit: utrum incestae poena sit deici, an perire. utrum prouidentia deorum, an casu seruata sit; si uoluntate superorum seruata est, an in hoc ut crudelius periret.
