Antonio, dein Philippo, post Iulio, cum his ipsis dicendi
gloria comparabatur. Primnum memoria tanta quantam in
nullo3 cognovisse me arbitror, ut quae secum commentatus
esset, ea sine scripto verbis eisdem redderet quibus cogitavisset. Hoc adiumento ille tanto sic utebatur ut sua et
commentata et scripta et nullo referente omnia omnium4
adversariorum dicta meminisset.
