Tum Scaevola comiter,
ut solebat, 'cetera' inquit 'adsentior Crasso, ne aut de
C. Laeli soceri mei aut de huius generi aut arte aut gloria
detraham; sed illa duo, Crasse, vereor ut tibi possim concedere:
unum, quod ab oratoribus civitates et initio constitutas
et saepe conservatas esse dixisti, alterum, quod remoto
foro, contione, iudiciis, senatu statuisti oratorem in omni
genere sermonis et humanitatis esse perfectum.

Quis enim
tibi hoc concesserit aut initio genus hominum in montibus
ac silvis dissipatum non prudentium consiliis compulsum
potius quam disertorum oratione delenitum se oppidis
moenibusque saepsisse? aut vero reliquas utilitates aut in
constituendis aut in conservandis civitatibus non a sapientibus
et fortibus viris, sed a disertis ornateque dicentibus
esse constitutas?
