Praevertor iam ad consulatum tuum, etsi sunt quaedam ad consulatum quidem pertinentia, ante consulatum tamen: in primis quod comitiis tuis interfuisti candidatus, non consulatus tantum sed immortalitatis et gloria et exempli quod sequerentur boni principes, mali mirarentur.
I pass now to your consulship, though there are certain events relating to it which did in fact precede it: first of all, you were present in person at your election, as a candidate not only for the consulate but for immortality and the fame of setting an example for good rulers to follow and bad ones to look on with surprise.
