[49]
Quam ob rem, si ornate
locutus est, sicut et fertur et mihi videtur, physicus ille
Democritus, materies illa fuit physici, de qua dixit, ornatus
vero ipse verborum oratoris putandus est; et, si Plato de
rebus ab civilibus controversiis remotissimis divinitus est
locutus, quod ego concedo; si item Aristoteles, si Theophrastus,
si Carneades in rebus eis, de quibus disputaverunt,
eloquentes et in dicendo suaves atque ornati fuerunt,
sint eae res, de quibus disputant, in aliis quibusdam studiis,
oratio quidem ipsa propria est huius unius rationis, de qua
loquimur et quaerimus.
