[109]
an ego Homero, Ennio,
reliquis poetis et maxime tragicis concederem ut ne omnibus
locis eadem contentione uterentur crebroque mutarent,
non numquam etiam ad cotidianum genus sermonis accederent:
ipse numquam ab illa acerrima contentione discederem?
sed quid poetas divino ingenio profero? histriones
eos vidimus quibus nihil posset in suo genere esse
praestantius, qui non solum in dissimillimis personis satis
faciebant, cum tamen1 in suis versarentur, sed et comoedum
in tragoediis et tragoedum in comoediis admodum placere
vidimus: ego non elaborem?
1 tamen AL: tamquam Peter
