iam illa minora, in quibus maxime studiosi eius
[p. 126]
rei fatigantur, qui verba paulum declinata varie et
multipliciter ad veritatem reducunt aut correptis aut
porrectis, aut adiectis aut detractis, aut permutatis
litteris syllabisve. inde pravis ingeniis ad foedissima
usque ludibria labuntur. sit enim consul a consulendo vel a iudicando; nam et hoc consulere veteres
vocaverunt, unde adhuc remanet illud rogat boni
consulas, id est bonum iudices.
