De deo Socratis, 22 (3-5)
Quotation
Plane quidem villas opipare exstruunt et domos ditissime exornant et familias numerosissime comparant. Sed in istis omnibus tanta affluentia rerum nihil est praeterquam ipse dominus pudendum, nec iniuria: cumulata enim habent, quae sedulo percolunt, ipsi autem horridi, indocti incultique circumeunt. 4Igitur illa spectes, in quae patrimonia sua profuderunt: amoenissima et exstructissima et ornatissima deprehendas, villas aemulas urbium conditas, domus vice templorum exornatas, familias numerosissimas et calamistratas, opiparam supellectilem, omnia affluentia, omnia opulentia, omnia ornata praeter ipsum dominum,
