nam si habet testem
cupidum laedendi, cavere debet hoc ipsum, ne cupiditas eius appareat, nec statim de eo, quod in iudicium venit, rogare, sed aliquo circuitu ad id pervenire,
ut illi, quod maxime dicere voluit,videatur expressum;
nec nimium instare interrogationi,ne ad omnia respondendo testis fidem suam minuat, sed in tantum evocare eum, quantum sumere ex uno satis sit.
Quintilian. With An English Translation. Harold Edgeworth Butler. Cambridge. Cambridge, Mass., Harvard University Press; London, William Heinemann, Ltd. 1921.
