et ego: Non, inquam, Brute, sine causa, propterea quod istorum in dialecticis omnis cura consumitur, vagum illud orationis et fusum et multiplex non adhibetur genus. Tuus autem avunculus, quem ad modum scis, habet a Stoicis id quod ab illis petendum fuit; sed dicere didicit a dicendi magistris eorumque more se exercuit. Quod si omnia a philosophis essent petenda, Peripateticorum institutis commodius fingeretur oratio.
