Formula: Concerning the Cornicularius [Chief Clerk] Who Is Advanced.
Let Optatus, arriving at what he has longed for, obtain the fulfillment that his very name [meaning "desired"] promises. We therefore decree that this man, proven by his constant labors, shall assume the office of cornicularius, so that he may rightly stand among the senior staff — a man who served his time on watch duty among the recruits without reproach.
