Lex Iunia de iure iurando was initially enacted under the simplest form, containing the text of what readers were to suppose to be an oath. Two years later (Centuriata Nov. 13 2754 confirmed by SC Dec. 04 2754), the lex Cassia de iure iurando corrected this lex Iunia by the addition of its first and introductory paragraph. It was later further modified, by changing the text of the oath by the lex Arria Tullia de quibusdam legibus obsoletis abrogandis corrigundisve.
This lex is hereby enacted to put in place an oath of office for any citizen assuming any magistracy of Nova Roma or any office, whether elected or appointed.

- In the presence of my ancestors and the Gods of the Roman people, by their will and favor, I hereby accept the office of [enter the title of the office here] and all the rights, privileges, obligations, and responsibilities attendant thereto.”
II. The same regulations apply to magistrates of the Nova Roman plebs, the tribuni plebis and aediles plebis, but they shall also swear a special allegiance to the Plebs, and the first part of their oath of office shall read as follows:
