[38]
Remember that Cicero in his
Brutus, after writing pages and pages on the subject
of Roman orators alone, says nothing of his own contemporaries with the exception of Caesar and Marcellus. What limit, then, would there be to my
labours if I were to attempt to deal with them and
with their successors and all the orators of Greece as
well?
