“Cum M. Fadio, quod scire te arbitror, mihi summus usus est valdeque eum diligo cum propter summam probitatem eius ac singularem modestiam, tum quod in iis controversiis, quas habeo cum tuis combibonibus Epicuriis, optima opera eius uti soleo. With M. Fadius, as I think you know, I am very intimate, and I am much attached to him, as well from his extreme honesty and singular modesty of behaviour, as from the fact that I am accustomed to find him of the greatest help in the controversies which I have with your fellow tipplers the Epicureans. ― tr. from: E.S. Shuckburgh, The Letters of Cicero (1889–1900), vol. II, ep. ccxlv (F IX, 25): “To L. Papinius Peatus (at Rome); Laodicea (February)””
