Commentary on the Chapter on No Offence

150. In the twelfth, regarding "no offence as 'an offence'" and so on, what is stated here and there as "no offence for one not knowing, for one without intent to steal, for one not intending to cause death, for one not intending to make a claim, for one not intending emission" is called no offence; what is stated by the method beginning with "for one knowing, for one intending to steal" is called an offence; the five classes of offences are called a light offence; the two classes of offences are called a heavy offence. The two classes of offences are called a coarse offence; the five classes of offences are called not a coarse offence. The six classes of offences are called a remediable offence; the one class of offence of expulsion is called an irremediable offence. An offence with a remedy is just a remediable offence; an offence without a remedy is just an irremediable offence. The remainder is clear everywhere.
