Quintus
Quam breui frater in conspectu posita est a te omnium magistratuum descriptio, sed ea paene nostrae ciuitatis, etsi a te paulum adlatum est noui.

Marcus
Rectissime, Quinte, animaduertis. Haec est enim, quam Scipio laudat in illis libris et quam maxime probat, temperatio rei publicae, quae effici non potuisset, nisi tali descriptione magistratuum. Nam sic habetote, magistratibus iisque qui praesint contineri rem publicam, et ex eorum compositione, quod cuiusque rei publicae genus sit, intellegi. Quae res cum sapientissime moderatissimeque constituta esset a maioribus nostris, nihil habui sane aut non multum, quod putarem nouandum in legibus.
