Iam vero de legibus constituendis, de bello,
de pace, de sociis, de vectigalibus, de iure civium generatim
in ordines aetatesque discriptorum dicant vel Graeci, si
volunt, Lycurgum aut Solonem—quamquam illos quidem
censemus in numero eloquentium reponendos—scisse melius
quam Hyperidem aut Demosthenem, perfectos iam homines
in dicendo et perpolitos, vel nostri decem viros, qui xii
tabulas perscripserunt, quos necesse est fuisse prudentis,
anteponant in hoc genere et Ser. Galbae et socero tuo
C. Laelio, quos constat dicendi gloria praestitisse.
