Plutarch, Cicero, 5.4


οὐ μικρὰ δὲ πρὸς τὸ πείθειν ὑπῆρχεν ἐκ τοῦ ὑποκρίνεσθαι ῥοπὴ τῷ Κικέρωνι. καὶ τούς γε τῷ βοᾶν μεγάλα χρωμένους μεγάλα χρωμένους MSS., Sintenis 1, and Bekker; Sintenis 2 adopts Cobet’s μεγαλαυχουμένους ( boasting loudly of ); μεγάλα βοᾶν χρωμένους Graux with M a ῥήτορας ἐπισκώπτων ἔλεγε διʼ ἀσθένειαν ἐπὶ τὴν κραυγὴν ὥσπερ χωλοὺς ἐφʼ ἵππον πηδᾶν. ἡ δὲ περὶ τὰ σκώμματα καὶ τὴν παιδιὰν ταύτην εὐτραπελία δικανικὸν μὲν ἐδόκει καὶ γλαφυρὸν, χρώμενος δʼ αὐτῇ κατακόρως πολλοὺς ἐλύπει καὶ κακοηθείας ἐλάμβανε δόξαν. But it is said that he too, no less than Demosthenes, was weak in his delivery, and therefore sought with care to imitate now Roscius the comedian, and now Aesop the tragedian.
