    Liber Deuteronomii

    Deuteronomy

    19

    Quando obsederis civitatem multo tempore, et munitionibus circumdederis ut expugnes eam, non succides arbores, de quibus vesci potest, nec securibus per circuitum debes vastare regionem: quoniam lignum est, et non homo, nec potest bellantium contra te augere numerum.

    When thou hast besieged a city a long time, and hath compassed it with bulwarks, to take it, thou shalt not cut down the trees that may be eaten of, neither shalt thou spoil the country round about with axes: for it is a tree, and not a man, neither can it increase the number of them that fight against thee.

    Quando obside civitate multo tempore, et munitiones circumda ut expugna illa, non succide arbores, de que vesce pote, nec secures per circuitu debe vasta regione: quia ligno es, et non homine, nec pote bella contra te auge numero.
