Quod si provinciae consulibus expetendae videntur, sicut saepe <a> multis clarissimis viris expetitae sunt, reddite prius nobis Brutum, lumen et decus civitatis; qui ita conservandus est ut id signum quod de caelo delapsum Vestae custodiis continetur; quo salvo salvi sumus futuri.
But if you consuls think it right to seek provinces, as they have often been sought by many illustrious men, first give us back Brutus, the pride and glory of the community, who must be treasured like the image that fell from the sky and is kept by the guardians of Vesta; if this is safe, we will be safe.
