offertur praefectoriis ante propositionis exordium ius sedendi: Arvandus iam tunc infelici impudentia concito gradu mediis prope iudicum sinibus ingeritur; Ferreolus circumsistentibus latera collegis verecunde ac leviter in imo subselliorum capite consedit, ita ut non minus legatum se quam senatorem reminisceretur, plus ob hoc postea laudatus honoratusque.
Those of prefectorian rank are offered, before the indictment is begun, the privilege of being seated. Arvandus, even thus early, with unhappy self-assertion makes a rush and seizes a place almost in the laps of his judges; on the other hand, Ferreolus takes his seat modestly and quietly at the lowest end of the benches with his colleagues standing on either side, thus showing that he remembered that he was a delegate as well as a senator; for which action he was afterwards all the more complimented and honoured.
