To the Patres conscripti (and Cleopatra),
I, Dolabella, acting on my authority as consul, have arrested Lucious Antonius and Quintus Pedius on the charge of treason to the Republic as a result of their failed attempt to march on Rome along with Marc Antoni and Publius Bassus who are both already being held for the same crimes. As a result, all four parties will be placed on trial and an appropriate sentence will be suggested by me and voted on by you during Friday's senatorial meeting.
These arrests should not effect any prepared defense against Marc Antoni for his previous charge of forgery as all stand as testimony to his character. At the meeting any speech regarding the crimes of these four individuals will be encouraged and of course they will be allowed to speak in their defense regarding these matters.
Your humble voice,
Dolabella
