The report is that you have ordered Ampelius and certain others from Sardinia, who are alleged to be senators, having been brought up on a charge, to keep watch on the proper court. These men I now hear have been transferred to another tribunal. Therefore, if you yourself recall that you judged the matter in this way, I think it fair [...] that you should see fit to be present at your own rulings.

Latin / Greek Original

Fama est, quod Ampelium et quosdam alios de Sardinia, ut adseritur, senatores
in crimen adductos forum conpetens observare praeceperis. hos nunc audio ad aliud
indicium esse translatos. quare si ipse ita a te reminisceris iudicatum, aequum esse
i^ arbitror, ut statutis tuis adesse digneris.

XXXnn ante a. 390.
