Testor igitur te, Claudi Maxime, vosque, qui in consilio estis, vosque etiam, qui tribunal mecum adsistitis, haec damna et dedecora morum eius patruo huic et candidato illo socero adsignanda meque posthac boni consulturum, quod talis privignus curae meae iugum cervice excusserit, neque postea pro eo matri eius supplicaturum.
I call you to witness, therefore, Claudius Maximus, you, his fellow judges, and you who are supporting me before the judgment seat. These blemishes and stains on his character should be imputed to his uncle and would-be father-in-law here. Henceforth I shall be fully content that a stepson like this has shaken the yoke of my protection off his back, and in future I shall not plead for him with his mother.
