Letter 111: You ask how many lines Dioscorus declaims every day?
To Troilus.
You ask how many lines Dioscorus declaims every day? Fifty. He recites them without a single mistake, without repeating himself, without pausing to remember. Once he begins, he goes straight through, and only silence marks the end of his performance.
