Law, Execution of
Illustration★★★Diocles made a law that no man should come armed into a public assembly. Through inadvertency he chanced to break the law himself, and it was said, ‘He has broken a law he has made himself.” He turned to his accuser and said with a loud voice, ‘No the law shall have its sanction,” and drawing his sword killed himself.
The point
A lawgiver who accidentally broke his own law executed himself rather than exempt himself, honoring the law's authority over his own life.
