Julian, at the trial of Numerius, governor of Gallia Narbonensis, who was accused of embezzlement. Numerius had successfully defended himself against the prosecutor Delphidius, who in his exasperation, declared whether anyone could be found guilty if they only denied the charges, which provoked Julian's response. Reported in Ammianus, Res gestae, bk. 18, ch. 1, sec. 4 (tr. J. C. Rolfe, i, 1935)
