Non enim ita gerimus nos hoc bello consulares ut aequo animo populus Romanus visurus sit nostri honoris insignia, cum partim e nobis ita timidi sint ut omnem populi Romani beneficiorum memoriam abiecerint, partim ita a re publica aversi ut se hosti favere prae se ferant, legatos nostros ab Antonio despectos et irrisos facile patiantur, legatum Antoni sublevatum velint.
For in this war we consulars are not conducting ourselves in such a way that the Roman people are likely to view the outward signs of our rank with complacency since some of us are so fainthearted that they have cast away all recollection of the Roman peoples favors, while others are so averse to the Republic that they openly admit to supporting the enemy, are quite happy to see our envoys despised and ridiculed by Antonius, want to ease matters for Antonius envoy.
