Cum D. Brutus, imperator, consul designatus, provinciam Galliam in senatus populique Romani potestate teneat, cumque exercitum tantum tam brevi tempore summo studio municipiorum coloniarumque provinciae Galliae, optime de re publica meritae merentisque, conscripserit, compararit, id eum recte et ordine exque re publica fecisse, idque D. Bruti praestantissimum meritum in rem publicam senatui populoque Romano gratum esse et fore:
Whereas Decimus Brutus, imperator, consul-elect, is holding the province of Gaul in the control of the senate and people of Rome, and whereas he has enrolled and mustered so large an army in so short a time with the enthusiastic support of the municipalities and colonies of the province of Gaul, a province which has deserved and is deserving excellently well of the Republic: that he has acted rightly and properly and in the public interest; and that this outstanding service to the Republic on the part of Decimus Brutus is and will be pleasing to the senate and people of Rome;
