AT Marius (vt supra diximus) cupientis¦sima plebe consul factus / post{quam} ei prouinciā Numidiā populus iussit: antea iā infestus nobilita¦ti: tū vero multus & ferox instare. modo singulos: modo vniuersos ledere. Dictitare sese consulatū ex victis quasi illis spoli a coepisse. alia p̄terea ma¦gnifica pro se / et illis do∣lentia. Interim que bello opus erant / prima habe∣re: postulare legionibus supplementum: auxilia a populis et regibus soci∣is{que} accersere.

Praeterea ex latio fortis∣simū quem{que} / pleros{que} mi∣litia / paucos fama / cogni∣tos accire: et ambiendo cogere hoies emeritis sti¦pendijs proficisci: neque illi senatus / {quam}{quam} aduersus erat: de vllo negotio ab∣nuere audebat.

Caeterum supplementum etiam laetus decreuerat: quia / ne{que} plebe militiam volente / putabatur Ma∣rius: aut belli vsum / aut studia vulgi amissurus.

sese quis{que} praeda locupletem ore: victorē domum rediturum: alia huiuscemodi ais attra∣hebant: et eos non paulu∣lum oratione sua Mari∣us arrexerat. Nam post{quam} oībus decretis / quae postu lauerat: milites scribere vult hortandi causa / si∣mul: et nobilitatem (vti consueuerat) exagitandi concionem populi aduo∣cauit. Deinde hoc modo disseruit.
