Therefore, I give my vote, “That of those men who are with Marcus
Antonius, those who abandon his army, and come over either to Caius Pansa or
Aulus. Hirtius the consuls; or to Decimus Brutus, imperator and consul elect; or to Caius Caesar, propraetor,
before the first of March next, shall not be liable to prosecution for having
been with Antonius. That, if any one of those men who are now with Antonius
shall do any thing which appears entitled to honor or to reward, Caius Pansa and
Aulus Hirtius the consuls, one or both of them, shall, if they think fit make a
motion to the senate respecting that man's honor or reward, at the earliest
opportunity. That, if, after this resolution of the senate, any one shall go to
Antonius except Lucius Varius, the senate will consider that that man has acted
as an enemy to the republic.”
