Flavius Nicetius, vir ortu clarissimus, privilegio spectabilis, merito inlustris et hominum patriae nostrae prudentia peritiaque iuxta maxumus, praeconio, quantum comperi, immenso praesentis opusculi volumina extollit, insuper praedicans, quod plurimos iuvenum nec senum paucos vario genere dictandi militandique, quippe adhuc aevo viridis, ipse sim supergressus.
Flavius Nicetius, a man by birth distinguished, by rank eminent, by desert illustrious, supreme among our countrymen in wisdom and experience alike, extols, I hear, with boundless eulogy the various books of the present little work, going so far as to declare that, though still in the prime of life, I have actually surpassed, in the two distinct mtiers of literature and public service, most of the younger generation and not a few of the veterans.
