To Florus 1.14
I explained some scriptural testimonies at greater length and others more briefly, because I promised to handle them fully in the work that would follow. Thus none of Augustine's arguments and propositions there remained without refutation, and I carried out nothing differently from what I had promised. I exposed many falsehoods, many absurdities, and many sacrileges in his inventions.
Latin
Scripturarum sane testimonia quaedam latius exposui, quaedam brevius; quia me plene id secuturo opere facturum spopondi. Nihil itaque ibi de omnibus Augustini argumentis et propositionibus non explosum remansit, nihil a me impletum est aliter quam promissum; multa in inventis eius falsa, multa stolida, sacrilega multa convici.
About this text
Julian’s six preserved books to Florus, quoted section by section in Augustine’s unfinished reply. Augustine’s refutations are omitted. Latin of Julian’s words is on each section.
Julian’s own books do not survive as a separate manuscript. English follows his words as Augustine quotes them in the Unfinished Work Against Julian. Augustine’s replies are omitted. We do not restore a Julian text independent of Augustine.
