de inventione, ut arbitror, satis dictum est.
neque enim ea demum, quae ad docendum pertinent, exsecuti sumus, verum etiam motus animorum
tractavimus. sed ut opera exstruentibus satis non
est saxa atque materiam et cetera aedificanti utilia
congerere, nisi disponendis eis collocandisque artificium manus adhibeatur, sic in dicendo quamlibet
abundans rerum copia cumulum tantum habeat
atque congestum, nisi illas eadem dispositio in
ordinem digestas atque inter se commissas devinxerit.
