Quo quidem in
genere familiaris noster M. Buculeius, homo neque meo
iudicio stultus et suo valde sapiens et ab iuris studio non
abhorrens, simili in re quodam modo nuper erravit: nam
cum aedis L. Fufio venderet, in mancipio lumina, uti tum
essent, ita recepit; Fufius autem, simul atque aedificari
coeptum est in quadam parte urbis, quae modo ex illis
aedibus conspici posset, egit statim cum Buculeio, quod,
cuicumque particulae caeli officeretur, quamvis esset procul,
mutari lumina putabat.

Quid vero? clarissima M'. Curi
causa Marcique Coponi nuper apud centumviros quo
concursu hominum, qua exspectatione defensa est? Cum
Q. Scaevola, aequalis et conlega meus, homo omnium et
disciplina iuris civilis eruditissimus et ingenio prudentiaque
acutissimus et oratione maxime limatus atque subtilis atque,
ut ego soleo dicere, iuris peritorum eloquentissimus, eloquentium
iuris peritissimus, ex scripto testamentorum iura
defenderet negaretque, nisi postumus et natus et, ante quam
in suam tutelam veniret, mortuus esset, heredem eum esse
posse, qui esset secundum postumum et natum et mortuum
heres institutus; ego autem defenderem eum hac tum mente
fuisse, qui testamentum fecisset, ut, si filius non esset, qui in
suam tutelam veniret, M'. Curius esset heres, num destitit
uterque nostrum in ea causa in auctoritatibus, in exemplis,
in testamentorum formulis, hoc est, in medio iure civili
versari?
