3 All which passages, however, are so to be understood that the people or the king are not strictly bound to give up the person, but, as we have said, to punish him. For thus we read that the Eleans made war on the Lacedzmonians, because they had not punished those who had done injury to the Eleans; that is, they neither punished them nor gave them up. It is a disjunctive obligation.
4 Sometimes the option is given to those who demand the guilty, that the satisfaction may be more complete. "The Cerians, in Livy, signify to the Romans that the Tarquinians passing through their land with a small force, though they had asked for nothing but a passage, had drawn along with them some of the country people to join them in the marauding practices of which they were accused: that if it were wished that they should be given up, they were ready to give them up; if it were wished that they should be punished, they were ready to punish them.
5 In the second league of the Carthaginians and Romans, which is extant in Polybius, there is this passage (if rightly read): Zf mot, let each. pursue his own right by private proceedings: if this does mot succeed, let it be considered a public delict. Eschines, in his answer to Liv. vii. 20, Lib. iii. 24.

6 Among the evils whieh arise from the discords of states, Dio Chrysostom puts this: 76 is possible that those who have injured one city, to fly to another.
7 "There occurs the question, of persons given up, if they are given up by one state, and not accepted by the other, do they remain citizens?
P. M. Sezvola held that they did not: since when the people had given up a person, it was as if they had expelled him from the city, as if they had interdicted him from fire and water.

For the act of donation is not complete without the con- sent of two: but the giving up or surrender of which we have spoken is nothing more than leaving a citizen of ours to the power of another people, so that they may determine about him what they will But this permission does not give or take away any right: it may take away an impediment to the execution of punishment, "Therefore if the other people do not use the right which is conceded to it, the person so surrendered will be in a condition to be punished by his own nation, (as happened in the case of Clodius, surrendered to the Cor- sicans and not accepted by them;) or he may not be punished, as there are many delicts in which the one or the other may take place. And the rights of a citizen, like many other rights and possessions, are not lost by a mere fact, but by some decree or sentence; except there be some law which directs the fact to be considered as a judicial act, — * which cannot be said in this case. And in the same way, if goods are surrendered but not accepted, they remain whose they were. But if the surrender of a person is accepted, and afterwards he who had been surrendered happens to return, he is no longer a citizen, except by some new concession of citizenship to him: and in this sense the opinion which Modestinus gave respecting a person surrendered, is true.

2 And then, if that of which the refugees are accused is not a matter against the law of nature or of nations, it must be judged by the civil law of the people from whom they come; as ZEschylus assumes in his Suppliants, where Danaus addresses the persons who came from Egypt to that effect, VIL 1 We have seen how the fault passes to the rulers from the subjects, either ancient or recently arrived; in like manner the fault will pass from the rulers to the subjects, if these have consented to the crime, or if they have done anything by the command or the suasion of their superiors, which they could not do without guilt: on which point it will be more correct to treat hereafter, when we have to * In the Greek, ἐμοῦ, but Grotius translates it fe, both here and in his extracts from the Greek Tragedies and Comedies, J.

que constare: nam singuli quique congregati, vel in sum- mam reputati, faciunt universos.
2 Pertinet autem culpa ad singulos qui consenserunt, non ad eos qui aliorum sententiis victi sunt. —Distinctze enim sunt poenze singulorum et universitatis. Sicut singulorum pona interdum est mors, ita πόλεως θάνατος ἀνάστατον “γενέσθαι, mors civitatis everti: quod fit eum corpus civile dissolvitur; qua de re diximus alibi. Atque hoc modo si civitas esse desinat, usumfructum velut morte finiri recte dixit Modestinus. Singuli in servitutem pens nomine redi- guntur, ut Thebani sub Alexandro Macedone: exceptis his qui deereto exuendz societatis contradixerant.

"There is even a participation of pun- ishment by communication between the general body and individuals; for, as Augustine says, T'he general bod» consists of individuals, &c.
2 But the fault lies at the door of the individuals who have con- sented to the act, not to those who were outvoted by the others. For the punishments of individuals and of the general body are different. As the punishment of individuals is sometimes death, so it is the punishment of a city to be destroyed, which is done when the civil body is dissolved; of which case we have spoken elsewhere. And if a city or state cease to exist in this manner, Modestinus rightly said, that the life-interest which any persons have init ceases. Individuals are reduced to slavery in the way of punishment, as the Thebans under Alexander of Macedon: excepting those who had voted against the proposal of making the alliance [with the Macedonians, G.] So also a city or state undergoes civil slavery, by being reduced into the condition of a province. Individuals lose their goods by confiscation. But [in punishing a city] the things which are taken from the city are the publie property; as walls, arsenals, fleets, arms, elephants, its trea- sury, and its public lands.

De hoc ἡ genere est meritum: primo enim convenit singulis, ut animum habentibus quem universitas per se non habet. Extinctis ergo illis per quod ad universitatem meritum deducebatur, ipsum quoque meritum extinguitur, ac proinde et pcenze debi- tum, quod sine merito diximus non consistere.

account of a delict of the general body, committed without their con- sent, is unjust: as Libanius rightly shews on the sedition of Antioch. The same writer approves an act of Theodosius, who punished a publie offense by interdicting the theatre, the publie baths, and the title of metropolis.
VIII. 1 "This important question occurs, whether punishment may always be exacted for the deliets of the general body. So long as the constitution of the body continues, it would seem that it can, because the same body remains, though preserved by a succession of different particles, as we have elsewhere shewn. But, on the con- trary side, it is to be observed that some things are asserted of the body primarily and per se, as to have a treasury, laws, and the like; others only derivatively from its members. "Thus we call a body learned and brave, which has many learned and brave members. And desert [of punishment, G.] is of this kind; for, in the first place, it belongs to individuals, as having a spirit and intelligence which the body by itself has not. Therefore if these persons be extinct, from whom desert was deduced and carried to the account of the body, the desert is extinct, and also the desert of punishment; which, as we have said, cannot exist without desert. So Libanius says: Jt must suffice ow as to punishment, that no one is left of those who offended.
