Ita mihi et patria in concilio Africae, id est vestro, et pueritia apud vos et magistri vos et secta, licet Athenis Atticis confirmata, tamen hic inchoata est, et vox mea utraque lingua iam vestris auribus ante proximum sexennium probe cognita, quin et libri mei non alia ubique laude carius censentur quam quod iudicio vestro comprobantur.
Witness the fact that my native city is part of the Council of Africa, to which you too belong, my boyhood was spent among you, you were my teachers, my philosophical studies, though matured in Attic Athens, nevertheless began here, and my mastery of both languages has been thoroughly familiar to your ears for the past six years. What is more, nowhere do my books receive a more valuable mark of esteem than your considered approval.
