Adrisit hic Crassus leniter et pertexe modo, inquit Antoni, quod exorsus es; me tamen ista oscitans sapientia, simul atque ad eam confugero, in libertatem vindicabit. Huius quidem loci, quem modo sum exorsus, hic est finis, inquit Antonius; quoniam intellegeretur non in hominum innumerabilibus personis neque in infinita temporum varietate, sed in generum causis atque naturis omnia sita esse, quae in dubium vocarentur, genera autem esse definita non solum numero, sed etiam paucitate, ut eam materiem orationis, quae cuiusque esset generis, studiosi qui essent dicendi, omnibus locis discriptam, instructam ornatamque comprehenderent, rebus dico et sententiis.
