Igitur Sulla gentis patriciae nobilis fuit, familia prope iam extincta maiorum ignavia, litteris Graecis et Latinis iuxta [atque doctissume] eruditus, animo ingenti, cupidus voluptatum sed gloriae cupidior; otio luxurioso esse, tamen ab negotiis numquam voluptas remorata, nisi quod de uxore potuit honestius consuli; facundus, callidus, et amicitia facilis; ad simulanda negotia altitudo ingeni incredibilis; multarum rerum ac maxume pecuniae largitor.
Sulla, then, was a noble of patrician stock, of a family which had almost faded away to nothingness thanks to the inactivity of his ancestors. He was versed alike in Greek and Roman literature, very high spirited, fond of pleasure but more fond of glory. Though a man of luxurious leisure, nevertheless, pleasure never slowed him down in his undertakings, except that he could have taken a more honorable decision concerning his wife. He was eloquent, clever, and easygoing in his friendships. His mind possessed a depth beyond belief in putting up pretenses; he was generous with many things, especially with money.
