dedisset, tamen ipse adulescentulus, quantum illius
ineuntis aetatis meae patiebatur pudor, multa ex eo saepe
quaesivi. Non erit profecto tibi, quod scribo, hoc novum;

sermonibus nullius rei, quae quidem esset in eis artibus,
de quibus aliquid existimare possem, rudem aut ignarum

tam existimari vellet non didicisse, quam illa despicere et
nostrorum hominum in omni genere prudentiam Graecis
anteferre; Antonius autem probabiliorem hoc populo orationem
fore censebat suam, si omnino didicisse numquam
putaretur; atque ita se uterque graviorem fore, si alter contemnere,
