Quinam inlustriores sunt in urbe non solum apud negotiosos et rebus intentos, sed etiam apud iuvenes et adulescentes, quibus modo recta est indoles et bona spes sui? Quorum  nomina prius parentes liberis suis ingerunt? Quos saepius vulgus quoque imperitum et tunicatus hic populus transeuntes nomine vocat et digito demonstrat? Advenae quoque et peregrini iam in municipiis et coloniis suis auditos, cum primum urbem attigerunt, requirunt ac velut adgnoscere concupiscunt.
What class of men enjoys greater prestige here in Rome than our public speakers, in the eyes not only of busy men, engrossed in affairs, but also of younger persons and those who have not yet come to mans estate'provided always that they are of good natural disposition and have some outlook? Are there any whose names are dinned at an earlier age by parents into their childrens ears? Are there any to whom the plain man in the street, our citizens in their working-clothes, more frequently point as they pass by, saying, There goes So-and-so? Visitors also and non-residents, as soon as they set foot in the capital, ask for the men of whom in their country towns and colonies they have already heard so much, and are all agog to make them out.
