Exempla

“aliī dīvidunt propria et dītiōrēs fīunt aliī rapiunt nōn sua et semper in egestāte sunt

Some distribute their own goods, and grow richer: others take away what is not their own, and are always in want. (Douay-Rheims trans., Challoner rev.: 1752 CE)

“nōmen proprium

proper noun

“PAMPHILUS: Ego deōrum vītam proptereā sempiternam esse arbitror / quod voluptātēs eōrum propriae sunt; nam mihi immortālitās / parta est, sī nūlla aegritūdō huic gaudiō intercesserit.”

PAMPHILUS: That’s why I believe the life of gods to be eternal — because their own pleasures are permanent. For [this same reason], my immortality has been secured — if no grief interferes with this joy.

“Quārē, quoniam id, quod est prīmum, et quod huius imperiī disciplīnaeque maiōrum proprium est, facere nōndum audeō, faciam id, quod est ad sevēritātem lēnius et ad commūnem salūtem ūtilius.”

Therefore, since I do not yet dare to do that which is best — and which is characteristic of this authority and the discipline of our ancestors — I will do that which, in regard to severity, is milder, and in regard to the common welfare, more useful.
