- αʹ⁻³ Cicero, Academica 1.2:
| Si vero Academiam veterem persequamur quam nos ut scis probamus quam erit illa acute explicanda nobis, quam argute quam obscure etiam contra Stoicos disserendum. | If in fact we are following after the old Academy—which, as you know, we approve of—we have to explain it as shrewdly as possible, and as subtly and secretly argue against the Stoics. |
- βʹ Cicero, Ad Atticum 11.9:
| Ego vero et incaute, ut scribis, et celerius quam oportuit feci. | I did indeed act both carelessly and more hastily than I ought to have. |
- γʹ Cicero, De Finibus 1.8:
| Sed uti oratione perpetua malo quam interrogare aut interrogari. | But I'd rather use an uninterrupted speech than question and answer. |
