Ex illo priore genere sunt praeiudicia, rumores, tormenta, tabulae, iusiurandum, testes, in quibus pars
maxima contentionum forensium consistit. Sed ut
ipsa per se carent arte, ita summis eloquentiae viribus
et adlevanda sunt plerumque et refellenda. Quare
mihi videntur magnopere damnandi, qui totum hoc
genus a praeceptis removerunt.
