Exempla

“hoc contra ius fasque est”

this is against law and divine law

“Itaque si fas non est patris, vel filii, patrui vel nepotis uxorem habere in matrimonio, unum et idem de fratris uxore sentire convenit: de qua similis prorsus lex uno contextu et tenore perlata est.”

And so if divine law is that the father, or the son, the uncle or the nephew are not to have a wife in marriage, it comes together as one and the same thing about the brother's wife: from which a similar law is conveyed by means of connecting and grasping [a pattern].

“Latium …: illīc fās rēgna resurgere Troiae.”

“Latium …: there it is divine will that the kingdom of Troy shall rise again.”

“fās mihi praecipuē voltūs vīdisse deōrum,”

[It is] permissible, for me especially, to have seen the faces of the gods, either because I am a poet, or because I sing sacred [themes].
