Sed transeo ad Latinos oratores, in quibus non Menenium, ut puto, Agrippam, qui potest videri antiquus, nostrorum temporum disertis anteponere soletis, sed Ciceronem et Caesarem et Caelium et Calvum et Brutum et Asinium et Messallam: quos quid antiquis temporibus potius adscribatis quam  nostris, non video.
But I pass on to the orators of Rome. Among them it is not Menenius Agrippa, I take it'who may well be considered an ancient'that you are in the habit of rating above good speakers of the present day, but Cicero, and Caesar, and Caelius, and Calvus, and Brutus, and Asinius, and Messalla; though in regard to these I fail to see any reason why you should credit them to antiquity rather than to our own era.
