Dear Ottfried, I guess, you've found the correct quotation.We thought it should
be some legal text, and so it is. Aaron had found this quotation when he still
could see, many years ago, but since then all his notes were lost. The problem
was to recover the context for this short excerpt which now becomes rather
clear. Thanks a lot!.
As for the beautiful sentetia "discere namque ut scias," Jim, I am afraid, I
borrowed it from your own message sent to the list some time ago - I loved it so
much. . . Thanks for sharing it with us!
