Quapropter ne multa nobis cotidie decernenda sint, consulibus totam rem publicam commendandam censeo eisque permittendum ut rem publicam defendant provide<a>ntque ne quid res publica detrimenti accipiat, censeoque ut eis qui in exercitu M. Antoni sunt ne sit ea res fraudi, si ante Kalendas Februarias ab eo discesserint.
Therefore, to spare ourselves the necessity of many decrees day after day, I propose that the whole Republic be committed to the consuls and that they be given full discretion to defend the Republic and take measures to ensure that the Republic suffer no harm. I further propose that men now in the army of Marcus Antonius be subject to no penalty on that account provided that they leave him before the first of February.
