qua re aut vobis statuendum est
legem Aeliam manere, legem Fufiam non esse abrogatam,
non omnibus fastis legem ferri licere; cum lex feratur, de
caelo servari, obnuntiari, intercedi licere; censorium iudicium
ac notionem et illud morum severissimum magisterium
non esse nefariis legibus de civitate sublatum; si patricius
tribunus plebis fuerit, contra leges sacratas, si plebeius, contra
auspicia fuisse; aut mihi concedant homines oportet in
rebus bonis non exquirere ea iura quae ipsi in perditis non
exquirant, praesertim cum ab illis aliquotiens condicio C.
Caesari lata sit ut easdem res alio modo ferret, qua condicione
auspicia requirebant, leges comprobabant, in Clodio
auspiciorum ratio sit eadem, leges omnes sint eversae ac
perditae civitatis.
