Laudabile duodecim fascium religiosum obsequium, laudabilior quattuor et viginti in consimili re oboedientia: a Tiberio enim Graccho ad collegium augurum litteris ex provincia missis, quibus significabat se, cum libros ad sacra populi pertinentes legeret, animadvertisse vitio tabernaculum captum comitiis consularibus, quae ipse fecisset, eaque re ab auguribus ad senatum relata, iussu eius C. Figulus e Gallia, Scipio Nasica e Corsica Romam redierunt et se consulatu abdicaverunt.
Praise is due to the religious obedience of the twelve fasces; yet more to the compliance of twenty-four in similar circumstances. Ti. Gracchus sent a letter from his province to the College of Augurs stating that in reading books pertinent to the public rituals he had noticed that in the consular elections which he had himself conducted there had been an irregularity in the siting of the augural tent. The Augurs reported the matter to the senate and by its order C. Figulus returned to Rome from Gaul and Scipio Nasica from Corsica and resigned their Consulships.
