cum vix loricam duo multiplicem connixi humeris ferunt, quantus Demoleos, qui indutus ea cursu palantes Troas agebat? Quid? M. Tullius de M. Antonii luxuria tantum fingere saltem potuisset, quantum ostendit dicendo, conchyliatis Cn. Pompeii peristromatis servorum in cellis stratos lectos videres? conchyliata peristromata et Cn. Pompeii terunt servi in cellis: nihil dici potest ultra, et necesse est tamen infinito plus in domino cogitare.
