Context Cicero describes the "embellishments" in Crassus' speech, in which he praised Cicero's achievements in saving the Republic. (In this comment, Cicero compares Atticus to 'Aristarchus' (a Greek painter) who recognises these embellishments: the implication is that he is familiar with Cicero's own oratory on the subject).
