[998] The security was given to the aerarium (“subsignare apud aerarium” Cic. pro Flacco 32, 80); hence the money was probably paid into that treasury.
[999] Liv. xxxviii. 58 “Hostilius et Furius damnati (for peculatus in 187 B.C.) praedes eodem die quaestoribus urbanis dederunt.” In the lex Acil. Rep. (l. 57) it is said of the man convicted “q(uaestori) praedes facito det.”

[1002] Auct. ad Herenn. i. 12, 21 “Cum L. Saturninus legem frumentariam de semissibus et trientibus laturus esset, Q. Caepio, qui per id temporis quaestor urbanus erat, docuit senatum aerarium pati non posse tantam largitionem.”

[1006] ib. in Verr. i. 15, 40 “Tu, cum quaestor ad exercitum missus sis, custos non solum pecuniae sed etiam consulis, particeps omnium rerum consiliorumque fueris.”
