This ''lex'' follows the institutions of the kings in establishing a maximum size for the senate, and the ''lex Ovinia'' of c.318 in setting guidelines for the selection of new ''senatores''.

===I. ((Number of ''senatores''))===

After each ''census'' the ''censores'' shall declare a maximum number of ''senatores''.

:A. This number shall be 15% of the total number of ''assidui'' at the time, or the nearest whole number.

:B. This number shall be the maximum number of ''senatores'' until the number is revised by the ''censores'' after the following ''census''.

:C. This number shall never be lower than the number of ''senatores'' who exist at the time of the declaration, regardless of the number of ''assidui''.

:D. This number shall never exceed 300, regardless of the number of ''assidui''.

===II. ((Sublection of ''senatores''))===

The ''censores'' shall see to it that vacancies in the senate shall be filled.

:A. After they have declared the maximum number of ''senatores'' (and not before) according to article I, the ''censores'' shall sublect citizens to fill any vacancies in the senate up to the maximum which they have set, or as near to the maximum as they consider reasonable.

:B. They shall first sublect any ''dictatorii'' (citizens who have completed terms as ''dictator'') who have not already been sublected or passed over for sublection.

:C. They shall next sublect any ''censorii'' (citizens who have completed terms as ''censor'') who have not already been sublected or passed over for sublection.

:D. They shall next sublect any ''consulares'' (citizens who have completed terms as ''consul'') who have not already been sublected or passed over for sublection.

:E. They shall next sublect any ''praetores'' (citizens who have completed terms as ''praetor'') who have not already been sublected or passed over for sublection.

:F. They shall next sublect citizens at their discretion, giving due weight to their past tenure of magistracies and public religious offices, to their seniority, and to their good character.

===III. ((Removing and passing over ''senatores''))===

The ''censores'' shall retain discretion composing the senate.

:A. They may, before adding any new ''senatores'', remove existing ''senatores'' from the senate on grounds of conduct seriously harmful to the dignity of the senate.

:B. This may only be done with the agreement of both the ''censores''; they shall make public explanation of their reasons for doing so.

:C. In adding new ''senatores'', they may pass over any citizen qualified under II.b, c, e, or e on grounds of conduct which would be seriously harmful to the dignity of the senate.

:D. This may be done if either of the ''censores'' wishes; they shall make public explanation of their reasons for doing so.

:E. Any ''senator'' removed in this way and any citizen passed over for addition to the senate in this way shall no longer be entitled to attend, speak at, or vote at meetings of the senate.

:F. A decision of the ''censores'' to remove an existing senator from the senate, or of either ''censor'' to pass over a citizen for addition to the senate, is not subject to any appeal or ''provocatio'' and cannot be overturned, vetoed, or used as grounds to prosecute any current or former ''censor''.

===IV. ((''Ius sententiae dicendae''))===

Higher magistrates and ex-magistrates shall be entitled to attend meetings of the senate.

:A. Any ''flamen Dialis'', ''dictator'', ''censor'', ''consul'', or ''praetor'' shall be entitled to attend meetings of the senate and to vote therein.

:B. No ''flamen Dialis'', ''dictator'', ''censor'', ''consul'', or ''praetor'' shall be counted toward the total number of ''senatores''.

:C. Any ''dictatorius'', ''censorius'', ''consularis'', or ''praetorius'' shall be entitled to attend meetings of the senate and to vote therein, except one who has been deliberately passed over for sublection (see article III).

:D. No ''dictatorius'', ''censorius'', ''consularis'', or ''praetorius'' shall be counted toward the total number of senatores unless he or she has already been sublected by the ''censores''.

===V. ((Repeals))===

The ''leges'' [[lex Vedia senatoria (Nova Roma)|''Vedia senatoria'']], [[lex Arminia senatoria (Nova Roma)|''Arminia senatoria'']], and [[lex Octavia de senatoribus (Nova Roma)|''Octavia de senatoribus'']] are repealed.
