Tum illa: Morem, inquit, geram tibi, simulque sic orsa est: Si quidem, inquit, aliquis eventum temerario motu nullaque causarum  conexione productum casum esse definiat, nihil omnino casum esse confirmo et praeter subiectae rei significationem inanem prorsus vocem esse decerno.
I will grant your wish, she said then; and at once began thus: If indeed someone were to define chance as an event produced by random motion and not by any chain of causes, then I assert that chance is nothing at all, and I judge that apart from signifying the subject-event it refers to, it is a sound entirely empty of meaning.
