est enim quoddam genus eorum qui se1
philosophos appellari2 volunt, quorum dicuntur esse
Latini sane multi libri; quos non contemno equidem,
quippe quos numquam legerim; sed quia profitentur
ipsi illi, qui eos scribunt, se neque distincte neque
distribute neque eleganter3 neque ornate scribere, lectionem sine ulla delectatione neglego.4 quid enim dicant
et quid sentiant i qui sunt ab ea disciplina, nemo
ne5 mediocriter quidem doctus ignorat. quam ob
rem, quoniam quem ad modum dicant ipsi non laborant, cur legendi sint nisi ipsi inter se qui idem6 sentiunt, non intellego.7
