This speech from the consul elect, was heard with general approbation. The fathers were on the point of declaring, by a decree, that all who took the wages of oratory should be deemed guilty of extortion. Suillius and Cossutianus, with many others who were conscious of their evil practices, clearly saw, that if the decree passed the senate, it would be nothing less than a vote of pains and penalties against themselves.
Besteak ere bat zetozen kontsul izendatuaren hitzokin, konkusio legea ezarriko zitzaien dekretua prestatzen zihardutela, Suiliok, Kosuzianok eta gainerakoek, han epaibidea barik, errudun jakinen aurkako auzia baitzen, zigorra ezartzen ari zirela ikusirik, Zesar inguratzen dute, iragan egintzen barkamen eske.
