[1250] Liv. i. 43 “Nec mirari oportet hunc ordinem, qui nunc est post expletas quinque et triginta tribus duplicate earum numero centuriis juniorum seniorumque, ad institutam ab Servio Tullio summam non convenire.” Cf. Dionys. iv. 21. The description of Cicero (de Rep. ii. 22, 39 and 40) probably refers to the Servian arrangement, although Mommsen (Staatsr. iii. p. 275) holds that it refers to the reformed comitia. The description given in the text is in essentials that of Pantagathus (died 1567) ap. Ursinum in Liv. i. 43. For the different systems that have been adopted see Willems Le Droit Public p. 97. Mommsen (l.c.) admits the 70 votes for the 70 centuries of the first class, but thinks that the 280 centuries of the other classes were so combined as to form but 100 votes; the total votes being 70 + 100 + 5 + 18 = 193, as before.

[1252] Cic. Phil. ii. 33, 82 “Ecce Dolabellae comitiorum dies: sortitio praerogativae: quiescit. Renuntiatur, tacet. Prima classis vocatur: renuntiatur. Deinde, ita ut assolet, suffragia; tum secunda classis.”
[1253] Liv. xliii. 16 “cum ex duodecim centuriis equitum octo censorem condemnassent, multaeque aliae primae classis.” It would seem as though the sex suffragia (p. 73) voted with or after the first class. Drakenborch would read octodecim for duodecim, but this would seem to give too small a number of condemnatory votes amongst the equites.

[1255] Hence such expressions as Aniensis juniorum, Veturia juniorum, Galeria juniorum (Liv. xxiv. 7; xxvi. 22; xxvii. 6).
