neque enim minus
vitiosa est oratio, si ab homine quam si ab re, cui
accommodari debuit, dissidet; ideoque Lysias optime
videtur in iis, quae scribebat indoctis, servasse veritatis fidem. enimvero praecipue declamatoribus
considerandum est, quid cuique personae conveniat,
qui paucissimas controversias ita dicunt ut advocati,
plerumque filii, parentes, divites, senes, asperi, lenes,
avari, denique superstitiosi, timidi, derisores fiunt;
ut vix comoediarum actoribus plures habitus in pronuntiando concipiendi sint quam his in dicendo.
Quintilian. With an English Translation. Harold Edgeworth Butler. Cambridge. Cambridge, Mass., Harvard University Press; London, William Heinemann, Ltd. 1920.
