Sin quae res inciderit, in
qua de natura, de vitiis hominum, de cupiditatibus, de
modo, de continentia, de dolore, de morte dicendum sit,
forsitan, si ei sit visum,—etsi haec quidem nosse debet
orator—, cum Sex. Pompeio, erudito homine in philosophia,
communicarit; hoc profecto efficiet ut, quamcumque rem
a quoquo cognoverit, de ea multo dicat ornatius quam ille
ipse, unde cognorit.

Sed si me audiet, quoniam philosophia
in tris partis est tributa, in naturae obscuritatem, in disserendi
subtilitatem, in vitam atque mores, duo illa relinquamus
atque largiamur inertiae nostrae; tertium vero,
quod semper oratoris fuit, nisi tenebimus, nihil oratori, in
quo magnus esse possit, relinquemus.
