Academica

M. Tullius Cicero

Itaque cessit, et, ut ii qui sub Novis solem non ferunt, item ille cum aestuaret veterum ut Maenianorum sic Academicorum umbram secutus est.

And accordingly he gave way, and, just like people who cannot bear the sun under the New Row, took refuge from the heat in the shade of the Old Academy, as they do in the shadow of the balconies.
