“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)””
