Carneades, laboriosus et diuturnus sapientiae miles, si quidem nonaginta expletis annis idem illi vivendi ac philosophandi finis fuit, ita se mirificum doctrinae operibus addixerat ut cum cibi capiendi causa recubuisset, cogitationibus inhaerens manum ad mensam porrigere oblivisceretur.
Carneades was a hard-working and long-serving soldier of wisdom. After he had completed ninety years, the end of his living and his philosophizing was the same. So marvellously had he devoted himself to the operations of learning that when he had lain down to take a meal, wrapped in thought he would forget to stretch out his hand to the table.
