Haec laus acti consulatus, illa dilati, quod adhuc initio principatus ut iam exsatiatus honoribus et expletus consulatum recusasti, quem novi imperatores destinatum aliis in se transferebant.
So much for the fame of the consulship you held. Now for the one you postponed, when your principate had only just begun and (as if sated and surfeited with honours) you refused the office of consul which newly-elected emperors had previously claimed even when it was assigned to others.
