Equidem cum ante legatos decerni non censuissem, hoc me tamen consolabar, [quod] cum illi ab Antonio contempti et reiecti revertissent renuntiavissentque senatui non modo illum de Gallia non discessisse, uti censuissemus, sed ne a Mutina quidem recessisse, potestatem sibi D. Bruti conveniendi non fuisse, fore ut omnes inflammati odio, excitati dolore, armis, equis, viris D. Bruto subveniremus.
Although previously I had opposed authorizing envoys, nevertheless I had this consolation, that when they returned despised and rejected by Antonius, when they reported to the senate that not merely had Antonius failed to evacuate Gaul, as we had decreed, but he had not even withdrawn from Mutina, and that they had not been permitted to meet Decimus Brutus'after such reports, all of us would be aflame with hatred, spurred by indignation, and would go with weapons, cavalry, and infantry to Decimus Brutus assistance.
