Consimilis perseverantiae Livius Drusus, qui <et> aetatis viribus et acie oculorum defectus ius civile populo benignissime interpretatus est, utilissimaque discere id cupientibus monumenta composuit: nam ut senem illum Natura, caecum Fortuna facere potuit, ita neutra interpellare valuit ne non animo et videret et vigeret.
Livius Drusus was similarly persevering. Failing both in the strength of youth and in his eyesight, he quite ungrudgingly interpreted civil law for the public and composed works of the greatest use to those wishful to learn it. Nature could make an old man of him, Fortune a blind man, but neither the one nor the other could interrupt his minds sight and activity.
