Sunt aliquot quoque res quarum unam dicere causam non satis est, verum pluris, unde una tamen sit; corpus ut exanimum siquod procul ipse iacere conspicias hominis, fit ut omnis dicere causas conveniat leti, dicatur ut illius una; nam neque eum ferro nec frigore vincere possis interiisse neque a morbo neque forte veneno, verum aliquid genere esse ex hoc quod contigit ei scimus.
There are also a number of things for which it is not enough to name one cause, but many, one of mention which is nevertheless the true cause: just as if you should yourself see some mans body lying lifeless when one at a distance, you may perhaps think proper to name all the causes of death in order that the one true cause of the mans death may be named. For you could not prove that steel or cold had been the death of him, or disease, or it may be poison, but we know that what has happened to him is something of this sort.
