cumque legio Martia Albae constiterit, in municipio fidelissimo et fortissimo, seseque ad senatus auctoritatem populique Romani libertatem contulerit; et quod pari consilio eademque virtute legio quarta usa, L. Egnatuleio duce quaestore optimo, civi egregio , senatus auctoritatem populique Romani libertatem defendat ac defenderit, senatui magnae curae esse ac fore ut pro tantis eorum in rem publicam meritis honores eis habeantur gratiaeque referantur. senatui placere uti C. Pansa A. Hirtius, consules designati, cum magistratum inissent, si eis videretur, primo quoque tempore de his rebus ad hunc ordinem referrent , ita uti e re publica fideque sua videretur .

and whereas the Martian legion has taken its stand at Alba, a most loyal and courageous municipality, and has placed itself at the service of the Senate's authority and the liberty of the Roman people; and because the Fourth Legion, employing equal judgment and the same courage, under the leadership of Lucius Egnatuleius, an excellent quaestor and distinguished citizen, defends and has defended the Senate's authority and the liberty of the Roman people: that the Senate has and will have great care that, for their great services to the republic, honors be granted and thanks returned to them. The Senate resolves that Gaius Pansa and Aulus Hirtius, consuls designate, after entering office, should, if it seems good to them, refer these matters to this order at the earliest opportunity, as seems consistent with the public interest and their good faith.

puisque la légion de Mars s’est arrêtée à Albe, municipe d’une fidélité et d’un courage extrêmes, et s’est rangée sous l’autorité du Sénat et du côté de la liberté du peuple romain; et puisque, avec la même résolution et la même valeur, la quatrième légion, sous la conduite de L. Egnatuleius, excellent questeur et citoyen éminent, défend et a défendu l’autorité du Sénat et la liberté du peuple romain, que le Sénat ait et conserve le plus grand soin de leur accorder des honneurs et de leur témoigner sa reconnaissance pour de si grands services envers la république. Que le Sénat décide que C. Pansa et A. Hirtius, consuls désignés, une fois entrés en charge, soumettent, s’ils le jugent bon, ces questions à notre ordre le plus tôt possible, selon ce que leur paraîtront exiger l’intérêt public et leur conscience.
