iam primum qui sit genius vel qui status illi conpetat ignoro, quid possit et unde oriatur, spiritus informis sine corpore formave et ulla sit species, et quid sapiat, quae munera curet.
Now in the first place I know not what a genius is or what condition of being is appropriate to it, nor what are its powers or its origin, whether it is a spirit without form or body, or a form or a figure of any kind, what are its thoughts, what functions it attends to.
