Par Furio moderatione Marcius Rutilus Censorinus: iterum enim censor creatus ad contionem populum vocatum quam potuit gravissima oratione corripuit quod eam potestatem bis sibi detulisset cuius maiores, quia nimis magna videretur, tempus coartandum iudicassent.
Equal to Furius in moderation was Marcius Rutilus Censorinus. Elected Censor for the second time, he summoned the people to assembly and rebuked them in a speech as stern as he could make it for presenting him twice with a power which their ancestors had thought proper to limit in duration because it seemed too great.
