11. his litteris recitatis decreverunt ut C. Aurelius1 consul exercitum, cui in Etruriam ad conveniendum diem edixerat, [2?] Arimini eadem die adesse iuberet et aut ipse, si per commodum rei publicae posset, ad opprimendum Gallicum tumultum proficisceretur aut praetori2 scriberet ut, [3?] cum ad eum legiones ex Etruria venissent, missis in vicem earum quinque milibus sociorum, quae interim Etruriae praesidio essent, proficisceretur ipse ad coloniam liberandam obsidione. [4] legatos item mittendos in Africam censuerunt, eosdem Carthaginem, eosdem in Numidiam ad Masinissam: [5] Carthaginem, ut nuntiarent civem eorum Hamilcarem relictum in Galliahaud satis scire ex Hasdrubalis prius an ex Magonis postea exercitubellum contra foedus facere, [6?] exercitus Gallorum Ligurumque excivisse ad arma contra populum Romanum; eum, si pax placeret, revocandum illis et dedendum populo Romano esse. [7] simul nuntiare iussi perfugas sibi non omnes redditos esse, ac magnam partem eorum palam Carthagini obversari dici; quos comprehendi conquirique debere ut sibi ex foedere restituantur. haec ad Carthaginienses mandata. [8] Masinissae gratulari iussi, quod non patrium modo recuperasset regnum, [p. 34] sed parte florentissima Syphacis finium adiecta etiam3 auxisset. [9] nuntiare praeterea iussi bellum cum rege Philippo susceptum, quod Carthaginienses auxiliis [10?] iuvisset iniuriasque inferendo sociis populi Romani flagrante bello Italia coegisset classes exercitusque in Graeciam mitti et distinendo copias causa in primis fuisset serius in Africam traiciendi; peterentque ut ad id bellum mitteret auxilia Numidarum equitum. [11] dona ampla data quae ferrent regi, vasa aurea argenteaque, [12?] toga purpurea et palmata tunica cum eburneo scipione et toga praetexta cum curuli sella; iussique polliceri, si quid sibi ad firmandum augendumque regnum opus esse indicasset, enixe id populum Romanum merito eius praestaturum. [13] Verminae quoque, Syphacis filii, legati per eos dies senatum adierunt excusantes errorem adulescentiamque et culpam omnem in fraudem Carthaginiensium avertentes: [14] et Masinissam Romanis ex hoste amicum factum; Verminam quoque adnisurum ne officiis in populum Romanum aut a Masinissa aut ab ullo alio vincatur; petere ut rex sociusque et amicus ab senatu appellaretur. [15] responsum legatis est, et patrem eius Syphacem sine causa ex socio et amico hostem repente populi Romani factum, et eum ipsum rudimentum adulescentiae bello lacessentem Romanos posuisse. [16] itaque pacem illi prius petendam ab [p. 36] populo Romano esse, quam ut rex sociusque et amicus4 appelletur; nominis eius honorem pro magnis erga se regum meritis dare populum Romanum consuesse. [17] legatos Romanos in Africa fore, quibus mandaturum senatum ut Verminae pacis dent leges, liberum arbitrium eius populo Romano permittenti;5 si quid ad eas addi, demi mutarive6 vellet, rursus ab senatu ei postulandum fore. [18] legati cum iis mandatis in Africam missi C. Terentius Varro, Sp. Lucretius, Cn. Octavius. quinqueremes singulis datae.
