Nam cum L. Lentulo C. Marcello consulibus Kalendis Ianuariis labentem et prope cadentem rem publicam fulcire cuperetis ipsique C. Caesari, si sana mente esset, consulere velletis, tum iste venditum atque emancipatum tribunatum consiliis vestris opposuit cervicesque suas ei subiecit securi qua multi minoribus in peccatis occiderunt.
When, on the first of January, in the consulship of Lucius Lentulus and Gaius Marcellus, you gentlemen were anxious to shore up a tottering, almost collapsing Republic, and when you were ready to consider the interests of Gaius Caesar himself, if he kept his sanity, at that point Antonius placed in opposition to your decisions the office which he had sold and given up as his own; he put his own neck under the axe by which many have lost their lives for lesser offenses.
