Sic Caecilius et renidens (nam indignationis eius tumorem effusae orationis impetus relaxaverat): Ecquid ad haec ait audet Octavius, homo Plautinae prosapiae, ut pistorum praecipuus, ita postremus philosophorum? Parce, inquam, in eum plaudere: neque enim prius exultare te dignum est concinnitate sermonis, quam utrimque plenius fuerit peroratum, maxime cum non laudi, set veritati disceptatio vestra nitatur.
Caecilius ended beaming, for the flow of his oratory had relieved the swell of his indignation. And now, what says our brave Octavius, of the good old Plautine stock, prince of bakers but last and least of philosophers?  No crowing over him, said I, you had better not plume yourself on your fine feathers, till both sides have been heard to a finish, especially as you are contending not for glory but for truth.
