Omne jus, quod est certum, aut scripto, aut moribus constat. Dubium æquitatis regula examinandum est. Que scripta sunt, aut
posita in more civitatis, nullam habent difficultatem: cognitionis sunt enim, non inventionis. At que consultorum responsis
explicantur, aut in verborum interpretatione sunt posita, aut in recti pravique discrimine.
Quintilian, de Jure Civili.
