Athenis iam diu doctrina ipsorum Atheniensium
interiit, domicilium tantum in illa urbe remanet studiorum,
quibus vacant cives, peregrini fruuntur capti quodam modo
nomine urbis et auctoritate; tamen eruditissimos homines
Asiaticos quivis Atheniensis indoctus non verbis, sed sono
vocis nec tam bene quam suaviter loquendo facile superabit.
Nostri minus student litteris quam Latini; tamen ex
istis, quos nostis, urbanis, in quibus minimum est litterarum,
nemo est quin litteratissimum togatorum omnium, Q. Valerium
Soranum, lenitate vocis atque ipso oris pressu et sono
facile vincat.

Qua re cum sit quaedam certa vox Romani
generis urbisque propria, in qua nihil offendi, nihil displicere,
nihil animadverti possit, nihil sonare aut olere peregrinum,
hanc sequamur neque solum rusticam asperitatem,
sed etiam peregrinam insolentiam fugere discamus.
