The integrity of the judge is present in military appointments, because he gladly fulfills what he knows is justly owed. Therefore, let Pierius know that by my authority he has been made primicerius of the singulares [personal guard unit].

If there are any other matters, let them be brought forward with confidence — for there is no cause for hesitation where the judge's hearing is not for sale.

XXXII.
DE PRIMICERIO SINGULARIORUM QUI ACCEDIT.

[1] Adest militaribus obsequiis integritas iudicantis, quia gratanter exsolvit quod deberi iuste cognoscit. quapropter Pierius primicerium singulariorum se nostra auctoritate cognoscat effectum.

Si qua sunt alia, fiducialiter suggerantur: quia non est haesitationis metus, ubi non est iudicis venalis auditus.
