It is evident also that it is the distributor who acts unjustly

and not the man who has the greater share: because the mere fact

of the abstract Unjust attaching to what a man does, does not

constitute unjust action, but the doing this voluntarily: and

voluntariness attaches to that quarter whence is the origination

of the action, which clearly is in the distributor not in the

receiver. And again the term doing is used in several senses; in

one sense inanimate objects kill, or the hand, or the slave by

his master's bidding; so the man in question does not act

unjustly but does things which are in themselves unjust.
