The act of him who nurses his wrath is more voluntary, and therefore more culpable.

The degree of culpability depends on the presence or absence of intention, to which the degree of punishment should correspond.

For the first kind of murder, that which is done on a momentary impulse, let two years' exile be the penalty; for the second, that which is accompanied with malice prepense, three.

When the time of any one's exile has expired, the guardians shall send twelve judges to the borders of the land, who shall have authority to decide whether he may return or not.

He who after returning repeats the offence, shall be exiled and return no more, and, if he return, shall be put to death, like the stranger in a similar case.
