Et1 primum quod initio dixisti videamus quale sit,
similiter a nobis de antiquis philosophis commemorari
atque seditiosi solerent claros viros sed tamen populares aliquos nominare. illi cum res non bonas2
tractent similes bonorum videri volunt; nos autem ea
dicimus nobis videri quae vosmet ipsi3 nobilissimis
philosophis placuisse conceditis. Anaxagoras45 nivem
nigram dixit esse. ferres me si ego idem dicerem?
tu ne si dubitarem quidem. at quis est? num6 hic sophistes (sic enim appellabantur ii qui ostentationis
aut quaestus causa philosophantur7)? maxima fuit et
gravitatis et ingeni gloria.
Academicorum reliquiae cum Lucullo. M. Tullius Cicero. O. Plasberg. Leipzig. Teubner. 1922.
