Translation
Meaning to proffer. Thucydides [writes]: "but [it is necessary to speak of] the Persian Wars and the rest of the things that you yourselves know, even if perpetually bringing them forward will be rather tiresome".1 And the Orator [writes]: "the perpetual talk I see them perpetually bringing forward".2
