utique Q. Caepio Brutus pro consule provinciam Macedoniam, Illyricum cunctamque Graeciam tueatur, defendat, custodiat incolumemque conservet, eique exercitui quem ipse constituit, comparavit praesit, pecuniamque ad rem militarem, si qua opus sit, quae publica sit et exigi possit, exigat, utatur, pecuniasque a quibus videatur ad rem militarem mutuas sumat, frumentumque imperet, operamque det ut cum suis copiis quam proxime Italiam sit;
further that the proconsul Quintus Caepio Brutus shall protect, defend, guard, and keep safe the province of Macedonia, Illyricum, and all Greece; that he command the army which he himself has established and raised; that if money be required for military purposes, he levy and use such public money as is available and can be levied, and that he borrow monies for military purposes from whom he may see fit; that he requisition grain; and that he see to it that he, with his forces, be as close to Italy as possible.
