Hic Africanus: Puto nobis mox de instituendis et conservandis civitatibus aptiorem, Tubero, fore disserundi locum; de optimo autem statu equidem arbitrabar me satis respondisse ad id, quod quaesierat Laelius. Primum enim numero definieram genera civitatum tria probabilia, perniciosa autem tribus illis totidem contraria, nullumque ex eis unum esse optimum, sed id praestare singulis, quod e tribus primis esset modice temperatum.
