20. ... Romano more, sella eburnea posita, ius dicebat disceptabatque controversias minimarum rerum. [2] adeoque nulli fortunae adhaerebat animus per omnia genera vitae errans, uti nec sibi nec aliis, quinam homo esset, satis constaret. [3] non adloqui amicos, vix notis familiariter arridere, munificentia inaequali sese aliosque ludificari; quibusdam honoratis magnoque aestimantibus [p. 20] se puerilia, ut escae aut lusus, munera dare, alios nihil expectantes ditare.
