Fascinating quest, trying to run this
famous quote to ground. No luck here
either I'm afraid, but perhaps I can save
you checking some dead-ends.
The online concordances at IntraText'
website cover many Latin texts, several
of Augustine's among them. No occurrences
of "faeces" or "nascimur" (or, to my limited
Latin, variations of those words) in the Latin
texts of the following:
A Firmo de civitate Dei,
Confessiones,
De cathechizandis rudibus,
De civitate Dei,
De dialectica,
De fide et symbolo,
De magistro,
De trinitate,
Regula.
Nor did "feces" or a relevant "born" citation
appear in the concordance for the English
version of Enchiridion.
Hope that helps. Watching posts on
this topic with great interest.
