Nam, si ita diceres, qui iuris consultus esset, esse eum oratorem, itemque qui esset orator, iuris eundem esse consultum, praeclaras duas artis constitueres atque inter se paris et eiusdem socias dignitatis. Nunc vero iuris consultum sine hac eloquentia, de qua quaerimus, fateris esse posse, fuisseque plurimos; oratorem negas, nisi illam scientiam adsumpserit, esse posse. Ita est tibi iuris consultus ipse per se nihil nisi leguleius quidam cautus et acutus, praeco actionum, cantor formularum, auceps syllabarum; sed quia saepe utitur orator subsidio iuris in causis, idcirco istam iuris scientiam eloquentiae tamquam ancillulam pedisequamque adiunxisti.
