Now the prohibited place is the city from which he has gone
into exile. That the law makes very clear indeed when it says, “if any
man return,”—a word that cannot be used in relation to any
other city except that from which he has fled; for of course a man cannot return
from exile to a place from which he was never expelled. What is allowed by the
statute is an information, and that only in case of return to a prohibited
place; whereas Aristocrates has proposed that a man shall be liable to seizure
even in places where the law does not forbid him to take refuge.
