Excerpt from The Dialogus De Oratoribus Legg. 1, 11, The promise was extended to the parts quas intellexerimus te non tam omisisse quam nobis reli quisse (16, 10) differentiating the words si quid ab Antonio aut praetermissum aut relictum sit (de Orat. 2, 29, But Aper is determined not to leave his own generation inauditum et indefensum, a suggestion from Cicero's free use of inauditus, e.g. De Orat. 2, 1, 2. He not only defends, but also assails, agere enim fortius et audentius volo (18, changing and intensifying the statement of Antony loquat confidentius (de Orat. 2, 7, Maternus compli ments the speaker quo impetu saeculum nostrum defendit. Quam copiose ac varie vexavit antiques (24, 2, f.) taking the adverbs from de Orat. 1, 13, 59. He also excuses him because more vetere et a nostris philosophis saepe celebrato sumpsit sibi contra dicendi partes, a development of phi losophorum more (de Orat. 1, 55, 230; de Legg. 1, 13, Messalla takes up the discussion with ut opiner (brut. 15, and asserts of Aper nominis controversiam movit, for Cicero's verbi controversia (de Orat. 1, 11, He closes his remarks, and Messalla says perge, as does Cicero frequently, e.g. De Orat. 1, 8, 34; 2, 28, 124; de Re Pub. 2, 11, 22. He begins the second part of his discussion with non reconditas causas requiris nec ignotas, with the same modesty as Antony in Cicero (de Orat. 2, 19, 29) and 3, 37, 148; cf. 1, 31, 137; de Legg. 2, 23, He closes with a reference, ut opinor, to the words of Cicero in the Brutus. Maternus then declares that he had shown tantum velut vestigia ac liniamenta quaedam, a modification of vestigia ingressumque in a similar section assigned to Cotta (de Orat. L, 35, 161; cf. De Re Pub. 5, 1, 2 tamquam linia menta). This section closes with nec tu puto abnues et hi significare vultu videntur (33, 11) an adaptation of omnes adsensi significare inter se (de Orat. 1, 26, Deinde cum Aper quoque et Secundus idem adnuissent, Messalla quasi rursus incipiens the model for which is found in Brut. 55, 201 cum haec disseruissem, uterque adsensus est; et ego tamquam de integro ordiens cf. Similar statements de Orat. 1, 26, 122; de Div. 2, 49, 101. In 35, 1 Messalla says of the young men, deducuntur in scholas, and then repeats this preceded by ut dicere institueram, adapt ing from ut instituisti, which Cicero has several times, as de Orat. 1, 8, 34; 2, 28, 124; de Re Pub. 2, 11, 22; 3, 1, 1.
