Ipse ille Leontinus
Gorgias, quo patrono, ut Plato voluit, philosopho succubuit
orator, qui aut non est victus umquam a Socrate neque
sermo ille Platonis verus est; aut, si est victus, eloquentior
videlicet fuit et disertior Socrates et, ut tu appellas, copiosior
et melior orator—sed hic in illo ipso Platonis libro de
omni re, quaecumque in disceptationem quaestionemque
vocetur, se copiosissime dicturum esse profitetur; isque
princeps ex omnibus ausus est in conventu poscere qua de
re quisque vellet audire; cui tantus honos habitus est
a Graecia, soli ut ex omnibus Delphis non inaurata statua,
sed aurea statueretur.

Sed hi, quos nominavi, multique
praeterea summique dicendi doctores uno tempore fuerunt;
ex quibus intellegi potest ita se rem habere, ut tu, Crasse,
dicis, oratorisque nomen apud antiquos in Graecia maiore
quadam vel copia vel gloria floruisse.
