[284]
Sed ex his omnibus nihil magis ridetur, quam quod est
praeter exspectationem, cuius innumerabilia sunt exempla,
vel Appi maioris illius, qui in senatu, cum ageretur de agris
publicis et de lege Thoria et peteretur Lucullus ab eis, qui
a pecore eius depasci agros publicos dicerent, "non est"
inquit "Luculli pecus illud; erratis";—defendere Lucullum
videbatur—"ego liberum puto esse: qua libet pascitur."
M. Tulli Ciceronis Rhetorica. M. Tullius Cicero. A. S. Wilkins. 1902.
