In quem illud elogium: hunc unum plurimae consentiunt gentes populi primarium fuisse virum. Notum est totum carmen incisum in sepulcro. Iure igitur gravis, cuius de laudibus omnium esset fama consentiens. Quem virum nuper P. Crassum, pontificem maximum, quem postea M. Lepidum eodem sacerdotio praeditum vidimus!

The older monumental inscriptions of Rome were written in the Saturnian metre, which depended partly on accent. The normal line ran thus: v v v v' | v v v' but there were many deviations. UNUM: intensifies primarium, 'the very first'; cf. the common use of unus with a superlative adjective, for which see n. on Lael. 1 unum etc. ESSET CONSENTIENS: cf. n. on 26 agens aliquid.
