He could do nothing himself; he repeatedly asked (others) for everything; sticking his head into the rear of Caesar’s litter, he repeatedly sought favours from his colleague to sell.

See the day of Dolabella’s election.

Question 5

Sortitio praerogativae; quiescit. Renuntiatur; tacet.

Answer 5

The lot for the first vote (happens); he remained quiet. The result was announced: he remained silent.

Question 6

Prima classis vocatur, renuntiatur; deinde, ita ut adsolet, suffragia; tum secunda classis vocatur; quae omnia sunt citius facta, quam dixi.

Answer 6

The first class was called, then the knight’s voted in the accustomed manner, then the second class was called, all of which happened more quickly than I have said.
