quod quidem ego, Brute, ex tuis
litteris sentiebam, non te id sciscitari1, qualem ego in2 inveniendo
et in conlocando summum esse oratorem vellem,

M. Tullius Cicero. M. Tulli Ciceronis Rhetorica, Tomus II. A. S. Wilkins. Oxonii. e Typographeo Clarendoniano. 1911. Scriptorum Classicorum Bibliotheca Oxoniensis.
