Excerpt from Inscriptiones Gręcae Ineditę: Ad Augustum Boeckhium
Rationes quaest0rum, si catalogos seuatorum aut tironum perlustraverit; si sepulcrorum titulos perlegens, eque remotos esse reputaverit qui ante duo milia ahnorum et qui heri defunctus sit; si tot locis recentia vitae ipsius vestigia impressa considera verit, si Pompeys in parietibus mdium quos quisque proximis comitiis magistratus creari optaverit, si Antipari in spelunca qui illum locum visitaverint, si in vasis antiquis quos quisque pueros et puelles formosos habuent mnumerosque eiusmodi lusus viderit: nonne omnis temporis oblitus quasi cum pmsentibus agere et con versari videbitur? Quamquam sunt qui haec minuta studioque'omnino indigna putent; qui nunquam intellexisse videatur, parois quoque rebus magna iuvari, nunquam sensisse videntur, amantibus nihil esse minutum; nos autem, qui hoc studium pro fessi sumus, antiquitatis haberi amatores non pudet, immo puderet, si eam minus amaremus.
