The Ejercicios is a pedagogical tool organized around the structure of Aphthonius's progymnasmata, from which the titles of Torres's fourteen "Exercises" are derived: Fabula, Sententia, Refutatio, Confirmatio, Laus, and Vituperatio, to mention a few.
Progymnasmata are specific exercises with an increasing degree of difficulty, starting with the fable and narration, and via chreia and maxim, refutation and confirmation, koinos topos--commonplace, encomium and vituperatio (praise and blaim), ethopeiaspeech--in-character and description, ending with the thesis and proposal of a law.
At first, although he is unaware of the precise nature of this 'testing' of Charite, Lucius believes that she has chosen the role of prostitute; ut mihi merito subiret vituperatio totius sexus, cum viderem puellam, proci iuvenis amore nuptiarumque castarum desiderio simulato, lupanaris spurci sordidique subito delectari nomine; et tunc quidem totarum mulierum secta moresque de asini pendebant iudicio.
