ὄναρ τι τοῦτο, λαμπρότατε Κυίντιλλε, κελευσθεὶς προσφέρω σοι δῶρον τοὺς μακροβίους, πάλαι μὲν τὸ ὄναρ ἰδὼν καὶ ἱστορήσας τοῖς φίλοις, ὅτε ἐτίθεσο τῷ δευτέρῳ σου παιδὶ τοὔνομα: συμβαλεῖν δὲ οὐκ ἔχων τίνας ὁ θεὸς κελεύει μοι προσφέρειν σοι τοὺς μακροβίους, τότε μὲν εὐξάμην τοῖς θεοῖς ἐπὶ μήκιστον ὑμᾶς βιῶναι
σέ τε αὐτὸν καὶ παῖδας τοὺς σούς, τοῦτο συμφέρειν νομίζων καὶ σύμπαντι μὲν τῷ τῶν ἀνθρώπων γένει, πρὸ δὲ τῶν ἁπάντων αὐτῷ τε ἐμοὶ καὶ πᾶσι τοῖς ἐμοῖς: καὶ γὰρ κἀμοί τι ἀγαθὸν ἐδόκει προσημαίνειν ὁ θεός.
