[21] "Quid ergo?" inquis, ¹ "iacere in convivio et torqueri paria sunt?" Hoc mirum videtur tibi? Illud licet magis admireris; iacere in convivio malum, in eculeo bonum est, ² si illud turpiter, hoc honeste fit. ³ Bona ista aut mala non efficit materia, sed virtus. Haec ubicumque apparuit, omnia eiusdem mensurae ac pretii sunt.

1 inquis later MSS.; inquit VPb.

2 This reading is based on the authority of late MSS. VPb read iacere in eculeo bonum est.

3 honeste fit later MSS.; honeste sit Vb; honestum sit P.
