lat 524 A.D. IV,4p“Quidni?” inquam.

- The modern editors follow an emendation proposed by the sixteenth-century humanist Rudolf von Langen in a letter to Johannes Murmellius. Murmellius published it (Boethii De consolatione philosophiae libri quinque cum Ioannis Murmellii commentariis, Deventer 1514.)]
1. Most modern editions let this sentence be followed by "'Sed puniri improbos iustum, impunitos vero elabi iniquum esse manifeatum est.' 'Quis neget?' 'Sed ne illud quidem,' ait, 'quisquam negabit bonum esse omne quod iustum est contraque quod iniustum est malum.' Liquere, respondi." But the manuscripts, the old translations and this presentation of the texts place this passage a few lines further down, as can be seen.
