prima quoque aliquando positio ex
obliquis invenitur, ut memoria repeto convictos a me,
qui reprehenderant, quod hoc verbo usus essem,
pepigi; nam id quidem dixisse summos auctores confitebantur, rationem tamen negabant permittere,
quia prima positio paciscor, cum haberet naturam
patiendi, faceret tempore praeterito pactus sum.
