vicissimque accipit illud, quod in altero est, ex quo exardescit sive amor sive amicitia. Utrumque enim dictum est ab amando; amare autem nihil est aliud nisi eum ipsum diligere, quem ames, nulla indigentia, 5 nulla utilitate quaesita; 101. quae tamen ipsa efflorescit ex amicitia, etiam si tu eam minus secutus sis. Hac nos adulescentes benevolentia senes illos, L. Paullum, M. Catōnem, C. Gallum, P. Nasīcam, Ti. Gracchum Scipionis nostri socerum dileximus; haec etiam magis 10 elucet inter aequales, ut inter me et Scipionem, L. Furium, P. Rupilium, Sp. Mummium. Vicissim autem senes in adulescentium caritate adquiescimus, ut in vestra, ut in Q. Tuberōnis; equidem etiam admodum adulescentis P. Rutilii, A. Verginii, familiaritate delec15 tor. Quoniamque ita ratio comparata est vitae naturaeque nostrae, ut alia aetas oriatur; maxime quidem optandum est ut cum aequalibus possis, quibuscum tamquam e carceribus emissus sis, cum eisdem ad calcem, ut dicitur, pervenire. 102. Sed quoniam res 20 humanae fragiles caducaeque sunt, semper aliqui anquirendi sunt, quos diligamus et a quibus diligamur; caritate enim benevolentiaque sublatā omnis est e vitā sublata iucunditas. Mihi quidem Scipio, quamquam est

subito ereptus, vivit tamen semperque vivet; virtutem enim amavi illius viri, quae exstincta non est. Nec mihi soli versatur ante oculos, qui illam semper in manibus habui, sed etiam posteris erit clara et insignis. Nemo umquam animo aut spe maiora suscipiet, qui 5 sibi non illius memoriam atque imaginem proponendam putet. 103. Equidem ex omnibus rebus, quas mihi aut fortuna aut natura tribuit, nihil habeo quod cum amicitia Scipionis possim comparare. In hac mihi de re publică consensus, in hac rerum privatarum 10 consilium, in eadem requies plena oblectationis fuit. Numquam illum ne minima quidem re offendi, quod quidem senserim; nihil audivi ex eo ipse quod nollem : una domus erat, idem victus isque communis; neque solum militia, sed etiam peregrinationes rusticationes- 15 que communes. 104. Nam quid ego de studiis dicam cognoscendi semper aliquid atque discendi, in quibus remoti ab oculis populi omne otiosum tempus contrivimus? Quarum rerum recordatio et memoria si unā cum illo occidisset, desiderium coniunctissimi 20 atque amantissimi viri ferre nullo modo possem. Sed nec illa exstincta sunt alunturque potius et augentur cogitatione et memoria mea; et, si illis plane orbatus essem, magnum tamen adferret mihi aetas ipsa solacium; diutius enim iam in hoc desiderio esse non pos- 25 sum. Omnia autem brevia tolerabilia esse debent, etiam si magna sunt.

Haec habui, de amicitia quae dicerem. Vos autem hortor, ut ita virtutem locetis, sine qua amicitia esse non potest, ut ea exceptā nihil amicitia praestabilius 30 putetis.

12. quod-senserim] So far as I was aware.' Quod, in restrictive clauses, takes the subjunctive.

20. desiderium] "The loss.' 29. ut-locetis] 'To place virtue so' high in your esteem.
