Quod Teiburtes u(erba) f(ecistis) quibusque de rebus uos purgauistis, ea senatus | animum aduortit ita utei aequom fuit ; nosque ea ita audiueramus ; || ut uos deixsistis uobeis nontiata esse. Ea nos animum nostrum | non indoucebamus ita facta esse propter ea quod scibamus | ea uos merito nostro facere non potuisse, neque uos dignos esse, | quei ea faceretis, neque id uobeis neque rei poplicae uostrae | oitile esse facere. Et postquam uostra uerba senatus audiuit, || tanto magis animum nostrum indoucimus, ita utei ante | arbitrabamur, de eieis rebus af uobeis peccatum non esse. | Quonque de eieis rebus senatuei purgati estis, credimus, uosque | animum uostrum indoucere oportet, item uos populo Romano | purgatos fore.
