atqui si Antonio
Crassus eloquens visus non est aut sibi ipse, numquam
Cotta visus esset, numquam Sulpicius, numquam Hortensius;
nihil enim ample Cotta, nihil leniter Sulpicius, non
multa graviter Hortensius; superiores magis ad omne genus
apti, Crassum dico et Antonium. Ieiunas igitur huius
multiplicis et aequabiliter1 in omnia genera fusae orationis
auris civitatis accepimus, easque nos primi, quicumque
eramus2 et quantulumcumque dicebamus, ad huius generis
dicendi3 audiendi incredibilia studia convertimus.
