Laudator Temporis Acti: Jumping to Conclusions

Jumping to Conclusions

Terence, The Self-Tormentor 237 (tr. John Barsby):

Do you insist on prejudging the situation before you know the truth?

pergin istuc prius diiudicare quam scis quid veri siet?

The same, tr. John Sargeaunt (with the stage direction "sarcastically"):

That's right, settle the point before you have heard the evidence.
