51. priusquam in provincias praetores irent, certamen inter P. Licinium pontificem maximum fuit et Q. Fabium Pictorem flaminem Quirinalem, quale patrum memoria inter L. Metellum et Postumium Albinum fuerat. [2] consulem illum cum C. Lutatio collega in Siciliam ad classem proficiscentem ad sacra retinuerat Metellus, pontifex maximus; [3] praetorem hunc, ne in Sardiniam proficisceretur, P. Licinius tenuit. et in senatu et ad populum magnis contentionibus certatum, [4] [p. 245] et imperia inhibita ultro 1 citroque, et pignera capta, et multae dictae, et tribuni appellati, et provocatum ad populum est. [5] religio ad postremum vicit; ut dicto audiens esset flamen pontifici iussus; et multa iussu populi ei remissa. [6] ira provinciae ereptae praetorem magistratu abdicare se conantem patres auctoritate sua deterruerunt et, ut ius inter peregrinos diceret, decreverunt. [7] dilectibus deinde intra paucos dies — neque enim multi milites legendi erant — perfectis consules praetoresque in provincias proficiscuntur.

[8] fama dein de rebus in Asia gestis temere vulgata sine auctore, et post dies paucos nuntii certi litteraeque imperatoris Romam adlatae, quae non tantum gaudium ab recenti metu attulerunt — [9] [p. 246] desierant enim victum in Aetolia metuere — quam 2a vetere fama, quod ineuntibus id bellum gravis hostis et suis viribus, et quod Hannibalem rectorem militiae haberet, visus fuerat. [10] nihil tamen aut de consule mittendo in Asiam mutandum aut minuendas eius copias censuerunt metu, ne cum Gallis foret bellandum.
