Sin veterem illum Periclem
aut hunc etiam, qui familiarior nobis propter scriptorum
multitudinem est, Demosthenem sequi vultis et si
illam praeclaram et eximiam speciem oratoris perfecti et
pulcritudinem adamastis, aut vobis haec Carneadia aut illa
Aristotelia vis comprehendenda est.

Namque, ut ante dixi,
veteres illi usque ad Socratem omnem omnium rerum, quae
ad mores hominum, quae ad vitam, quae ad virtutem, quae
ad rem publicam pertinebant, cognitionem et scientiam cum
dicendi ratione iungebant; postea dissociati, ut exposui,
a Socrate diserti a doctis et deinceps a Socraticis item
omnibus philosophi eloquentiam despexerunt, oratores
sapientiam, neque quicquam ex alterius parte tetigerunt,
nisi quod illi ab his aut ab illis hi mutuarentur; ex quo
promisce haurirent, si manere in pristina communione
voluissent.
