Par verae amicitae clarissimum Scipio et Laelius, cum amoris vinculo tum etiam omnium virtutum inter se iunctum societate, ut actuosae vitae iter aequali gradu exsequebantur ita animi quoque remissioni communiter acquiescebant: constat namque eos Caietae et Laurenti vagos litoribus conchulas et umbilicos lectitasse, idque se P. Crassus ex socero suo Scaevola, qui gener Laelii fuit, audisse saepenumero praedicavit.
That illustrious pair of true friends, Scipio and Laelius, joined one to another by the bond of affection and also by partnership in all virtues, just as they followed the path of active life with equal tread, so did they find relief together in mental relaxations. For it is agreed that they used to pick up shells and pebbles wandering on the beaches of Caieta and Laurentum, and P. Crassus often declared that he had learned this from his father-in-law Scaevola, who was Laelius son-in-law.
