Modus autem nullus est florentior in singulis verbis neque qui plus luminis adferat orationi; nam illud, quod ex hoc genere profluit, non est in uno verbo translato, sed ex pluribus continuatis conectitur, ut aliud dicatur, aliud intellegendum sit: neque me patiar iterum ad unum scopulum ut olim classem Achivom offendere. atque illud, erras, erras; nam exsultantem te et praefidentem tibi repriment validae legum habenae atque imperi insistent iugo.
