Illius uero Romanae liberalitatis caelestem spiritum nullae litterae satis dignis laudibus prosequentur: Philippo enim Macedoniae rege superato, cum ad Isthmicum spectaculum tota Graecia conuenisset, T. Quintius Flamininus tubae signo silentio facto per praeconem haec uerba recitari iussit: 'S. P. Q. R. et T. Quintius Flamininus imperator omnes Graeciae urbes, quae sub dicione Philippi regis fuerunt, liberas atque inmunes esse iubet.' quibus auditis maximo et inopinato gaudio homines perculsi primo ueluti non audisse se quae audierant credentes obticuerunt. iterata deinde pronuntiatione praeconis tanta caelum clamoris alacritate conpleuerunt, ut certe constet aues, quae superuolabant, adtonitas pauentesque decidisse. magni animi fuisset a tot captiuorum capitibus seruitutem detraxisse, quot tunc nobilissimis et opulentissimis urbibus populus Romanus libertatem largitus est. Ad cuius maiestatem pertinet non solum quae ipse benigne tribuit, sed etiam quae alio tribuente sensit commemorari: ut enim illic meritae, ita hic redditae laudis conmendatio est.
