quis enim iuvenum nesciat seniorumque te mihi magistrum fuisse proprium, cum videremur habere communem, et si quid heroicus arduum comicus lepidum, lyricus cantilenosum orator declamatorium, historicus verum satiricus figuratum, grammaticus regulare panegyrista plausibile, sophista serium epigrammatista lascivum, commentator lucidum iurisconsultus obscurum multifariam condiderunt, id te omnifariam singulis, nisi cui ingenium sibique quis defuit, tradidisse?
Everyone, young or old, must know that you were my special teacher, although we appeared to have a common master, and that it was you who revealed to each and all of your school-fellows (except to such as lacked talent or failed to use their opportunities) the achievements of writers in many fields'the lofty utterance of the epic poet, the wit of the comedian, the tunefulness of the lyric poet, the orators rhetoric, the historians truth, the satirists artful malice, the grammarians observance of rules, the panegyrists rousing utterance, the sophists gravity, the epigrammatists sportiveness, the commentators lucidity, the jurists abstruseness.
