[18] Quid me poscis scientiam inutilem ? Magna promisisti; exige, vide. Dicebas intrepidum fore, [p. 264] etiam si circa me gladii micarent, etiam si mucro tangeret iugulum; dicebas securum fore, etiam si circa me flagrarent incendia, etiam si subitus turbo toto navem meam mari raperet. Hanc mihi praesta curam, ut 1 voluptatem, ut gloriam contemnam. Postea docebis inplicta solvere, ambigua distinguere, obscura perspicere; nunc doce quod necesse est. VALE.
1 praesta curam ut Hense; praestaturum BA.
