Quod vero impudentiam admiratus es eorum patronorum,
qui aut, cum parva nescirent, magna profiterentur aut ea,
quae maxima essent in iure civili, tractare auderent in causis,
cum ea nescirent numquamque didicissent, utriusque rei
facilis est et prompta defensio. Nam neque illud est
mirandum, qui, quibus verbis coemptio fiat, nesciat, eundem
eius mulieris, quae coemptionem fecerit, causam posse
defendere; nec, si parvi navigi et magni eadem est in
gubernando scientia, idcirco qui, quibus verbis erctum cieri
oporteat, nesciat, idem erciscundae familiae causam agere
non possit.

Nam, quod maximas centumviralis causas in
iure positas protulisti, quae tandem earum causa fuit, quae
ab homine eloquenti iuris imperito non ornatissime potuerit
dici? Quibus quidem in causis omnibus, sicut in ipsa
M'. Curi, quae abs te nuper est dicta, et in C. Hostili
Mancini controversia atque in eo puero, qui ex altera natus
erat uxore, non remisso nuntio superiori, fuit inter peritissimos
homines summa de iure dissensio: quaero igitur, quid
adiuverit oratorem in his causis iuris scientia, cum hic iuris
consultus superior fuerit discessurus, qui esset non suo
artificio, sed alieno, hoc est, non iuris scientia, sed eloquentia,
sustentatus.
