[116]
et quoniam in omnibus quae ratione docentur et via
primum constituendum est quid quidque sit—nisi enim
inter eos qui disceptant1 convenit quid sit illud quod2 ambigitur,
nec recte disseri umquam nec ad exitum perveniri
potest3—, explicanda est saepe verbis mens nostra de quaque
re atque involuta4 rei notitia5 definiendo aperienda est,
si quidem est definitio oratio, quae quid sit id de quo
[p. 2036]
agitur ostendit quam brevissime; tum, ut scis, explicato
genere cuiusque rei videndum est quae sint eius generis
sive formae sive partes, ut in eas tribuatur omnis oratio.
