at is primum iuravit se cum Scipionibus in gratiam non redisse, deinde tale decretum recitavit: cum L. Cornelius Scipio die triumphi sui ante currum actos hostium duces in carcerem coniecerit, indignum et alienum maiestate rei publicae videri eodem ipsum duci: itaque id non passurum fieri.
But Gracchus first stated on oath that he had not resumed friendly relations with the Scipios, then read out a decree such as follows: Since L. Cornelius Scipio on the day of his triumph had enemy captains walk before his chariot and threw them into prison, it appears unfitting and foreign to the majesty of the commonwealth that he himself should be taken to the same; therefore he, Gracchus, would not allow this to happen.
