De Officiis, 1:23. Fundamentum autem est iustitiae fides, id est dictorum conventorumque constantia et veritas.
The foundation of justice, moreover, is good faith—that is, truth and fidelity to promises and agreements.
(Punctuation is important here).
Wonderful, thank you. Anonymity tells its own story.
