"Successores sunt, sed ita ut potius Vicarii dicendi sint Apostolorum, quam successores; contra, Romanus Pontifex, quia verus Petri successor est, nonnisi per quendam abusum ejus vicarius diceretur." Zaccar. Antifebr., p. 130. Mr. Highfly kept silence.
And along with this quality, the mira elegantia of Quintilian, his oratory had some kind of severe magnificence which we can partly guess at from his extant writings magnifica et generosa, says Cicero; facultas dicendi imperatoria is the phrase of a later and able critic.

Orat. 93, his negative panegyric on his own oratorical attainments. Orat. 29. Tusc. Quæst. i. 1; de clar. Orat. 82, etc., de opt. gen. dicendi. Quinct. x. 1. De Fin. iii. 1 and 4; Lucull. 6. Plutarch, in Vitâ.
An excellent critic says "Quo saepius eum perlegebam, eo magis me detinuit cum dicendi nitor et brevitas tum perspicacitas iudicii sensusque vorax et ad agendum accommodatus, quibus omnibus genuinam repraesentat nobis civis Romani imaginem."
