Apud Cestium Pium rhetorem declamabat hanc
suasoriam SVRDINVS, ingeniosus adulescens, a quo
Graecae fabulae eleganter in sermonem Latinum
conuersae sunt. Solebat dulces sententias dicere,
frequentius tamen praedulces et infractas. In hac
suasoria cum iusiurandum bellis sensibus prioribus
complexus esset, adiecit: ‘ita te legam.’ CESTIVS,
homo nasutissimus, dissimulauit exaudisse se, ut
adulescentem ornatum quasi inprudens obiurgaret:
‘quid dixisti? quid? ita te fruar?’ Erat autem
CESTIVS nullius quidem ingenii amator, Ciceroni
etiam infestus, quod illi non inpune cessit.
