Julian quotation
Against Julian 6.9.26
The devil and God have made this agreement between them: God is to claim whatever is washed, and the devil whatever is born. But on this condition: God, by a power subject to another, is to make fruitful the very sexual union that the devil established.
Latin
hoc inter se foedus iniisse diabolum et Deum, ut quidquid perfunditur, Deus; quidquid nascitur, diabolus sibi vindicet: ea tamen lege - sicut dicis - ut ipsam commixtionem quam diabolus instituit, Deus obnoxia virtute fecundet
quod perfunditur
