Ego vero, inquam, dicam dumtaxat quod est historicon, de duabus rebus primis quae accepi, de origine et dignitate, de tertia parte, ubi est de arte, Scrofa suscipiet, ut semigraecis pastoribus dicam graece,     .
Well, said I, I shall speak at least of the historical side and tell what I have learned of the two topics first mentioned'the origin and the dignity. Scrofa will take up the tale at the third division, when it becomes a science. He is, if I may quote Greek to half-Greek shepherds, a much better man than I am.
