[52] This remark dates from 1826, and was therefore anterior to the emancipation of the Roman Catholics.—Germ. Ed.
[53] Liv. Epit. 48.
[54] Liv. Epit. 55.
[55] Schol. Bob. in Orat. pro Sulla. (Orelli vol. V. P. 2. p. 361.) In Liv. XL, 19, the reading is very doubtful, see the commentators, whence the supposition, that the law dates from Sulla. Others refer this Lex Cornelia to the consul Cn. Cornelius Dolabella (595), quoting Liv. Epit. 47.—Germ. Edit.
[56] In several very good MSS., there is here the following reading, “but probably later than is generally assumed; it must have been shortly before the last war with Rome.” The editor quotes this, since there are no arguments given, for deciding the question; yet the reading inserted in the text, seems to be more correct, as the general belief places the war of Masinissa very close indeed to the outbreak of the third Punic war.—Germ.

[57] In the received editions of the Capitoline Fasti, the name Æmilianus at the year 618 (19) seems genuine, we also meet with Æmiliano Scipioni, Cic. Phil. XIII. 4, 9.—Germ. Ed.
[58] There have been published of him, “J. E. Humbert, Notice sur quatre cippes sepulcraux, et deux fragmens decouverts en 1817 sur le sol de l’ancienne Carthage, à la Haye 1821.” The papers of Borgia, which seem to be at Naples, are made use of in H. F. J. Estrup Lineæ topographicæ Carthaginis Tyriæ Hafn. 1821. 8.—Germ. Ed.
[59] Literally, “villages as large as Sinzig.”
[60] Thonium in Locris 1829, probably a lapsus linguæ.—Germ. Ed.
[61] If in the Epitome of Livy the time of his war is stated as being fourteen years, one is to add the former war, in which he already distinguished himself in a separate command among the Lusitanians.
