In quamcumque memorabilium partem exemplorum convertor, velim nolimve, in cognomine Scipionum haeream necesse est: qui enim licet hoc loci Nasicam praeterire, fidentis animi dicti[que] clarissimum auctorem? annonae caritate increbrescente C. Curiatius tribunus plebis productos in contionem consules compellebat ut de frumento emendo atque <ad> negotium explicandum mittendis legatis in curia referrent.
To whatever quarter of memorable examples I turn, like it or not, I must stick fast in the surname of the Scipios. For how at this point can I pass over Nasica, the famous author of a saying that expressed his confident spirit? The price of corn was on the rise and Tribune of the Plebs C. Curiatius brought the Consuls before a public meeting and urged them to make a motion in the senate about buying grain and sending envoys to arrange the matter.
