testor maiorum cineres tibi, Roma, colendos, sub quorum titulis, Africa, tunsa iaces, et, Persen proavi stimulat dum pectus Achilli, qui tumidas proavo fregit Achille domos, me neque censurae legem mollisse neque ulla labe mea nostros erubuisse focos.
I testify by the ashes of forebears who command Romes reverence, beneath whose triumphs Africa lies ground in the dust, and him, who, when Perses was spurred on by the spirit of his ancestor Achilles, crushed the house inflated by its ancestor Achilles, that I never caused the censors law to be relaxed and that our hearth never blushed for any sin of mine.
