nec fora non celebrata mihi, set cura docendi cultior, et nomen grammatici merui non tam grande quidem, quo gloria nostra subiret Aemilium aut Scaurum Berytiumve Probum, sed quo nostrates, Aquitanica nomina, multos conlatus, set non subditus, adspicerem.
I frequented the Courts as well, but preferred to follow the business of teaching, and won some repute as a grammarian; and though my renown was not of so high a degree as to approach that of Aemilius, or Scaurus, or Probus of Beyrt; yet it was high enough to let me look upon the teachers of my day, men famous in Aquitaine, as their equal rather than their inferior.
