Hoc illud est, quod Pisistrato tyranno a Solone responsum est, cum illi quaerenti qua tandem re fretus sibi tam audaciter obsisteret respondisse dicitur 'senectute. Sed vivendi est finis optimus, cum integra mente certisque sensibus opus ipsa suum eadem quae coagmentavit natura dissolvit.
Audaciter is of importance as showing that c before i must have been pronounced just like c in any other position, not as in modern Italian. CERTIS SENSIBUS: Acad. 2, 19 integris incorruptisque sensibus. IPSA ... QUAE: see n. on 26. COAGMENTAVIT: Cic. is fond of such metaphors; cf. CONGLUTINAVIT: a still more favorite metaphor than coagmentare. IAM: 'further', so below.
