Illud vero quam insigne, quod nobis praefectis aerario consulatum ante quam successorem dedisti! Aucta est dignitas dignitate, nec continuatus tantum sed geminatus est honor, finemque potestatis altera alterius tamquam parum esset excipere praevenit.
It is no less remarkable that you bestowed the consulate on us while we were prefects of the treasury before you appointed a successor there. Honour has been heaped on honour, and our responsibilities not only prolonged without a break but doubled, now that a second office has anticipated the end of the first as if it were not enough for it to follow in succession.
