et quod C. Caesar pro praetore Galliae provinciae cum exercitu subsidio profectus sit, equites, sagitt<ar>ios, elephantos in suam populique Romani potestatem redegerit, difficillimoque rei publicae tempore saluti dignitatique populi Romani subvenerit, ob eas causas senatui placere C. Caesarem C. f. pontificem, pro praetore, senatorem esse sententiamque loco praetorio dicere, eiusque rationem, quemcumque magistratum petet, ita haberi ut haberi per leges liceret si anno superiore quaestor fuisset.
and whereas Gaius Caesar, propraetor, has set out with his army to the assistance of the province of Gaul, has brought cavalry, archers, and elephants under his own control and that of the Roman people, and at a most difficult crisis of the Republic has come to the aid of the safety and dignity of the Roman people: for these reasons that the senate decree that Gaius Caesar, son of Gaius, pontifex, propraetor, become a member of the senate, that he give his opinion among the ex-praetors, and that his candidature for whatever magistracy he shall be a candidate be accepted as it would legally be accepted if he had been quaestor in the year previous to this one.
