videte nunc proximo capite ut impurus helluo turbet rem
publicam, ut a maioribus nostris possessiones relictas disperdat
ac dissipet, ut sit non minus in populi Romani patrimonio
nepos quam in suo. perscribit in sua lege vectigalia
quae xviri vendant, hoc est, proscribit auctionem publicorum
bonorum. agros emi volt qui dividantur; quaerit
pecuniam. videlicet excogitabit aliquid atque adferet.
nam superioribus capitibus dignitas populi Romani violabatur,
nomen imperi in commune odium orbis terrae vocabatur,
urbes pacatae, agri sociorum, regum status xviris
donabantur; nunc praesens pecunia, certa, numerata quaeritur.
