Dignus quidem fuit, cui non inscriberentur illae litterae, sed insculperentur, qui hospitem suum nudo et naufrago similem in id, in quo iacuerat ipse, litus expulerat. Sed videbimus, quis modus poenae servandus fuerit ; auferendum utique fuit, quod summo scelere invaserat. Quis autem poena eius moveretur ? Id commiserat, propter quod nemo misereri misericors posset.
