- Eum qui nocentem infamat, non est aequum et bonum ob eam rem condemnari; delicta enim nocentium nota esse oportet et expedit
- If anyone defames a bad man, it is not just and right that he should on that account be condemned, for it is proper and expedient that the crimes of wicked men should be made known.
