Quod animi temperamentum etiam in Q. Scaevola, excellentissimo viro, adnotatum est: testis namque in reum productus, cum id respondisset quod salutem periclitantis magnopere laesurum videbatur, discedens adiecit ita sibi credi oportere si et alii idem adseverassent, quoniam unius testimonio aliquem cadere pessimi esset exempli.
This mental balance was also noted in the excellent Q. Scaevola. Brought forward as a witness against a defendant, he gave an answer which seemed likely to be highly prejudicial to the prospects of the accused. But as he left he added that he should be believed only if others made the same assertion, since for anyone to be convicted on the evidence of a single witness would be a very bad precedent.
