ENGLISH VERSION
I. PRAETOR IN PANNONIA
I hereby acknowledge the presence of the Praetor Sextus Lucilius Tutor in my province Pannonia, and by doing so I recognize and declare him as the Ceremonial Head of Pannonia and the Highest Ranking Leader in Provincia Pannonia as far as he stations in the province.
I.A.1 With this declaration I don't interfer with any of the laws, rights and duties pertaining to the office of governor granted by the Senate to me, and I only acknowledge the fact that the Vice-President of the Nova Roman Republic, with imperium over the whole Republic is present in the province and therefore my imperium can only be second in rank after the Praetor's imperium.
I.A.2. With this declaration no rights, powers or responsibilities are given to Praetor Sextus Lucilius Tutor which aren't given to him according to the laws of Nova Roma. The only legal authority responsible to the Senate and People of Nova Roma for the administration of Pannonia remains the governor of Pannonia as appointed by the Senate. This acknowledgement of the Praetor in Pannonia as Head of the Province is only symbolical and acknowledges nothing but the Roman fact of themos maiorum that whenever a higher magistrate is present in the province, the seniority and precedence is given to the higher magistrate instead of the governor, and the governor becomes only the second in rank.
I.A.3. With this declaration I urge and encourage every governor to do the same if they have a higher magistrate (consul or praetor) present in their province. This is the Roman republican thing to do, and we should honor these most sacred offices, the consulship and praetorship, which represent the highest levels of honor in a Roman's life. I encourage governors to issue similar edicts (this one can be used as a template) to give to due respect to praetores or consules present in their province.
I.B. I further declare that in my capacity as governor of Pannonia, I will respect as my superior and (whenever I deem viable, plausible or propitious) follow the guidance and instructions of the Ceremonial Head of Pannonia and Highest Ranking Leader in Pannonia, Praetor Sextus Lucilius Tutor.
I.C. When the praetorship of Sextus Lucilius Tutor expires, the position of Ceremonial Head and Highest Ranking Leader returns to the regular governor of Pannonia.
II. QUAESTOR REGIONIS MARCOMANNIAE
I hereby appoint Quaestor Tiberius Iulius Nerva as Quaestor of Regio Marcomannia and of the Legatus pro Praetore.
II.A. His position is second in rank to the position of Proquaestor Pannoniae Spurius Porcius Gemma, but the Quaestor of Regio Marcomannia shall be administratively independent from the office of the Proquaestor of Pannonia.
