[101]
at non historia cesserit Graecis, nec opponere
Thucydidi Sallustium verear, neque indignetur sibi
Herodotus aequari T. Livium, cum in narrando
mirae iucunditatis clarissimique candoris, tum in
contionibus supra quam enarrari potest eloquentem;
ita quae dicuntur omnia cum rebus tum personis
accommodata sunt; adfectus quidem, praecipueque
eos qui sunt dulciores, ut parcissime dicam, inemo
historicorum commendavit magis.
