Si recordaris, domine fili, hoc mihi iniunxeras, ut hic nonus libellus peculiariter tibi dicatus ceteris octo copularetur, quos ad Constantium scripsi, virum singularis ingenii, consilii salutaris, certe in tractatibus publicis ceteros eloquentes, seu diversa sive paria decernat, praestantioris facundiae dotibus antecellentem.
If you remember, my Lord and Son, you had urged that this ninth book specially dedicated to you should be added to the other eight, which I had inscribed to Constantius, that man of unique talent and wholesome judgment, who in his public discourses certainly excels all other speakers'whether he agrees with or differs from them'by virtue of his pre-eminent eloquence.
