    The Rights of War and PeaceRenaissance · English

    Roman jurist cited for the maxim defining fraud as advantage taken from another's loss.

    For, says Proculus, whoever makes an advantage from the loss of another is guilty of a fraud;

    There are two kinds of arbitration, the one of such a nature that it must be obeyed whether the decision be just or unjust, which, Proculus says, is observed when, after a compromise, recourse is had to arbitration.

    Adversus MarcionemLate Antiquity · Latin

    Legendary Roman witness said to have testified to Romulus's ascent, invoked as a comparison to the lack of any witness for Marcion's Christ's descent.

    It is unworthy, in short, that Romulus should have had a Proculus to affirm his ascent into heaven, but that Christ, a god, should have found no announcer of his descent from his own heaven — as though that other did not ascend by the same ladders of falsehood as this one descended.
    chapter 1

    Adversus ValentinianosLate Antiquity · Latin

    A Christian elder praised for chastity and eloquence, cited as an authority the author wishes to match

    and our own Proculus, the dignity of virgin old age and of Christian eloquence—whom I would wish to match in every work of faith, as in this.
