nunc nos, tamquam iam nihil pace deorum opus sit, omnes caerimonias polluimus. vulgo ergo pontifices, augures, sacrificuli reges creentur; cuilibet apicem dialem, dummodo homo sit, inponamus; tradamus ancilia, penetralia, deos deorumque curam, quibus nefas est; non leges auspicato ferantur, non magistratus creentur nec centuriatis nec curiatis comitiis patres auctores fiant; Sextius et Licinius tamquam Romulus ac Tatius in urbe Romana regnent, quia pecunias alienas, quia agros dono dant. tanta dulcedo est ex alienis fortunis praedandi, nec in mentem venit altera lege solitudines vastas in agris fieri pellendo finibus dominos, altera fidem abrogari, cum qua omnis humana societas tollitur? omnium rerum causa vobis antiquandas censeo istas rogationes. quod faxitis, deos velim fortunare.”
