Nunc procurator a columna Maenia multis huiusmodi sutelis foro cognitus inveterata iura supplicationibus quatit, degustat iudicia omnium potestatum, coeptarum actionum exitus deserit, instaurat exordia, Romanum criminatur tribunal, non possessionis antiquitatem, non dignitatis senatoriae praerogativam, non praefecturae existimationem sinit inconcussam manere.

Now the procurator at the Columna Maenia, known in the forum by many tricks of this sort, shatters the old laws for supplications, tastes the judgements of all the authorities, abandons the outcome of actions undertaken, begins others anew, complains of the Roman tribunal, does not allow the antiquity of possession, nor the prerogative of senatorial dignity, nor the reputation of the prefecture to remain unshaken.
