de materia loquor orationis etiam nunc, non de ipso
genere dicendi. Volo enim prius habeat orator rem de
qua dicat, dignam auribus eruditis, quam cogitet quibus
verbis quidque dicat aut quo modo1; quem etiam, quo
grandior sit et quodam modo excelsior, ut de Pericle dixi
supra, ne physicorum quidem esse ignarum volo. Omnia2
profecto, cum se a caelestibus rebus referet ad humanas3,
excelsius magnificentiusque et dicet et sentiet.
