- αʹ Cicero, Ad Atticum 2.9:
| etenim si fuit invidiosa senatus potentia, cum ea non ad populum sed ad tris homines immoderatos redacta sit, quid iam censes fore? | After all, if the power of the Senate was unpopular, then what do you think it will be like when it has passed, not to the people, but to three unprincipled men? |
- βʹ Cicero, De Re Publica 2.59:
| quo tum consilio praetermisso causa populo nata est, duobus tribunis plebis per seditionem creatis, ut potentia senatus atque auctoritas minueretur | When that decision was disregarded, then, the matter was raised by the people; two tribunes of the people were created through sedition, so that the power of the Senate and its authority might be diminished. |
