51. priusquam in provincias praetores irent certamen inter P. Licinium pontificem maximum fuit et Q. Fabium Pictorem1 flaminem Quirinalem, quale patrum memoria inter L. Metellum et Postumium Albinum fuerat. [2] consulem illum cum C. Lutatio collega in Siciliam ad classem proficiscentem ad sacra retinuerat Metellus, pontifex maximus; [3] praetorem hunc, ne in Sardiniam proficisceretur,2 P. Licinius tenuit. et in senatu et ad populum magnis contentionibus certatum, [4?] et imperia inhibita ultro citroque, et pignera capta, et multae dictae, et tribuni appellati, et provocatum ad populum est. [p. 440] religio ad3 postremum vicit; [5] ut dicto audiens esset4 5 flamen pontifici iussus; et multa iussu populi ei remissa. [6] ira provinciae ereptae praetorem magistratu abdicare se conantem patres auctoritate sua deterruerunt et6 ut ius inter peregrinos diceret7 decreverunt. [7] dilectibus deinde intra paucos dies —neque enim multi milites legendi erant—perfectis consules praetoresque in provincias proficiscuntur.

fama [8] dein de rebus in Asia gestis temere vulgata sine auctore, et post dies paucos nuntii certi litteraeque imperatoris Romam adlatae, [9?] quae non tantum gaudium ab recenti metu attulerunt—desierant enim victum in Aetolia regem8 metuere—quam a vetere9 fama, quod ineuntibus id bellum gravis hostis et suis viribus, et quod Hannibalem rectorem militiae haberet, visus fuerat. [10] nihil tamen aut de consule mittendo in Asiam mutandum aut minuendas eius copias censuerunt metu, ne cum Gallis foret bellandum.
