*qui eadem lege mecum natus or creatus est; commonly, however, expressed by alter (sing.), or alii (plur.); or by homines (if “men” is expressed in the sentence). Men are born for the sake of their fellow-creatures, homines hominum causa generati sunt (so homines plurimum hominibus et prosunt et obsunt, Cic.). To do nothing for the sake of a fellow-creature, nihil alterius causa facere (Cic.).
