vidi ego longe omnium, quos
mihi cognoscere contigit, summum oratorem, Domitium Afrum valde senem, cotidie aliquid ex ea
quam meruerat auctoritate perdentem, cum agente
illo, quem principem fuisse quondam fori non erat
dubium, alii, quod indignum videatur, riderent, alii
erubescerent; quae occasio fuit de1 illo dicendi,
malle eum deficere quam desinere.
