            little on it. You say, O Saturius, that Panurgus was the private property of Fannius.
            But I say that the whole of him belonged to Roscius, for how much of him belonged to
            Fannius? His body. How much to Roscius? His education. His person was of no value; his
            skill was valuable. As far as he belonged to Fannius, he was not worth fifty thousand
              <foreign xml:lang="lat">sesterces</foreign>; as far as he belonged to Roscius, he was worth
            more than a hundred thousand. For no one looked at him because of his person; but people
            estimated him by his skill as a comic actor. For those limbs could not earn by
            themselves more than twelve <foreign xml:lang="lat">sesterces</foreign>; owing to the
            education which was given him by Roscius, he let himself out for not less than a hundred
            thousand.</p></div></div></body></text></TEI>
