Formula: Concerning the Secretary of Military Affairs.

The integrity of one's conduct fittingly produces an increase in honor, and promotion should not be delayed for a man who has frequently been proved effective. For this reason, we decree that Lucinus shall serve as Secretary of Military Affairs — a man who will render the service he knows he has justly been assigned.
