sortuito, sed summa tua ratione et continentia rei publicae pro-xo visum est, dis immortalibus gratulari nos quam tibi referre acceptum mavis, gaudeo quod si triumphi praerogativam putas supplicationem et idcirco casum potius quam te laudari mavis, neque supplicationem sequitur semper triumphus et triumpho
