It is, however, universally agreed that all questions
must be concerned either with something that is
written or something that is not. Those concerned with
what is written are questions of law, those which concern what is not written are questions of fact. Hermagoras calls the latter rational questions, the former
legal questions, for so we may translate λογικόν and
νομικόν.
