• αʹ Cicero, Brutus 36.137:

Quorum quidem quae fuerit ascensio et quam in omnibus rebus difficilis optimi perfectio atque absolutio ex eo quod dicam existimari potest.

What their ascent was like, and how difficult the absolute perfection of the good in all things is, may be considered from what I'm saying.
