Faciendum est igitur nobis, patres conscripti, ut ea quae sua sponte clarissimus adulescens atque omnium praestantissimus gessit et gerit, haec auctoritate nostra comprobentur, veteranorumque, fortissimorum virorum, tum legionis Martiae quartaeque mirabilis consensus ad rem publicam recuperandam laude et testimonio nostro confirmetur, eorumque commoda, honores, praemia, cum consules designati magistratum inierint, curae nobis fore hodierno die spondeamus.
So it is for us, Members of the Senate, to see to it that what this illustrious and most eminent young man has done and is doing of his own accord is sanctioned by our authority; we must further confirm by our approving testimony the wonderful unanimity for the restoration of the Republic that is displayed by the veterans, most courageous men, and also by the Martian and Fourth Legions; and we must this day make our pledge that their interests, honors, and rewards shall be our care when the consuls-elect have come into office.
