Eosdem senatus, cum ob nimis aspere actam censuram a Cn. Baebio tribuno plebis pro rostris agerentur rei, causae dictione decreto suo liberavit, vacuum omnis iudicii cii metu eum honorem reddendo qui exigere deberet rationem, non reddere
When the same two were accused from the rostra by Tribune of the Plebs Cn. Baebius because of their unduly harsh exercise of the Censorship, the senate by its decree exempted them from answering the charge. They made that office clear of any apprehension of judicial action; it should demand justification, not provide it.
