The victim marked out for sacrifice, that feeds on snowy Algidus among the oaks and holm oaks or grows fat in Alban pastures, will stain with its neck the pontiffs’ axes; but it is not for you to pester the little gods whom you decorate with rosemary and brittle myrtle by slaughtering numerous sheep.

Originally most likely an ellipsis of patrēs et cōnscrīptī, seemingly distinct groups of senators in the early Republic. The 7th-century writer Isidore of Seville interprets cōnscrīptī as adjectival, but this reading is now usually rejected; the singular pater cōnscrīptus is, however, attested in Cicero (apparently as a joke).

At audistis, patres conscripti, philosophi vocem: negavit se triumphi cupidum umquam fuisse.

But Conscript Fathers, you heard the voice of the philosopher: he denied that he has ever had the desire for a triumph.
