[83]
Horum alii, sicuti iste ipse Mnesarchus,
hos, quos nos oratores vocaremus, nihil esse dicebat nisi
quosdam operarios lingua celeri et exercitata; oratorem
autem, nisi qui sapiens esset, esse neminem, atque ipsam
eloquentiam, quod ex bene dicendi scientia constaret, unam
quandam esse virtutem, et qui unam virtutem haberet, omnis
habere easque esse inter se aequalis et paris; ita, qui esset
eloquens, eum virtutes omnis habere atque esse sapientem.
Sed haec erat spinosa quaedam et exilis oratio longeque
a nostris sensibus abhorrebat.
