Sed iam urbi votisque publicis redditus, quid est in quo magis sis adprobaturus, quae quantaque fuerint quae desiderabamus? Parum est ut in curiam venias, nisi et convocas; ut intersis senatui, nisi et praesides; ut censentes audias, nisi et perrogas.
But now that you have returned to Rome, as a response to our prayers, how can you demonstrate the great qualities that we missed while you were away? Merely entering the House is not adequate; you must instruct us to gather. It is inappropriate for you to be present at our meetings without presiding, nor should you simply listen to speeches without calling on the speakers.
