Julian excerpts and reported appeal to authorities
Against Julian 6.22.69
Throughout my argument I have crushed your assertion about the evil of sexual desire and original sin.
Augustine reports that Julian claims the teaching of Basil of Caesarea and John of Constantinople agrees with his party’s views.
‘A conspiracy of lost men.’
‘The people’s murmuring’ is the only thing you set against us.
Latin
Tota disputatione tua contrivisti - sicut te iactas - assertionem meam, de malo carnalis concupiscentiae originalisque peccati
conspiratio perditorum
populi murmur, quod solum vobis a nobis - dicis - opponi
