Formula: Concerning the Regendarius [Filing Clerk].

It seems fitting to equity that men praised for effective service should receive the reward their character deserves. There is a proper glory in the man who, having weighed his duties, is known to advance his military career. For this reason, we decree that Carterius shall happily obtain the post of regendarius, so that, spurred by the hope of future advancement, he may devote himself all the more eagerly to the labors of the praetorian office.

XXVIIII.
DE REGENDARIO.

[1] Aequitati videtur accommodum, si efficaci actione laudatis digna moribus vicissitudo praestetur. habet enim suam gloriam, qui pensatis excubiis militarem noscitur promovere fortunam. hinc est quod Carterium regendarii locum feliciter obtinere censemus, ut spe futuri provectus avidius praetorianis possit inhaerere laboribus.
