hi fere aut in persuadendo aut in dicendo
apte ad persuadendum positum orandi munus sunt
arbitrati. id enim fieri potest ab eo quoque, qui vir
bonus non sit. est igitur frequentissimus finis,
rhetoricen esse vim persuadendi. quod ego vim
appello, plerique potestatem, nonnulli facultatem
vocant; quae res ne quid adferat ambiguitatis, vim
dico δύναμιν.
