seruos non contentus multis difficultatibus a libertate et multo pluribus a libertate iusta remouisse, cum et de numero et de condicione ac differentia eorum, qui manumitterentur, curiose cauisset, hoc quoque adiecit, ne uinctus umquam tortusue quis ullo libertatis genere ciuitatem adipisceretur. Etiam habitum uestitumque pristinum reducere studuit, ac uisa quondam pro contione pullatorum turba indignabundus et clamitans: 'en Romanos, rerum dominos, gentemque togatam!' negotium aedilibus dedit, ne quem posthac paterentur in foro circaue nisi positis lacernis togatum consistere.
