Description: [APh] [Comment] Interpretation of De officiis ministrorum I,28,130 ff. (PL 16.66 ff.), which deals with the origin of private property, with special consideration of similarities of presentation and argumentation with Cicero, De officiis. Ambrose views private property as a violation of the normal, original order of things but feels that proper use of private property for the common good justifies its existence.
