[517] XVI. 10. 10.

[518] Cf. Kübler, in Pauly-Wissowa, Real-Encycl. iii. 1522.

[519] This interpretation differs slightly from that of Mommsen, Röm. Staatsr. iii. 237.

[520] In like manner those possessing above 100,000 asses were at times divided into groups for the distribution of military burdens according to wealth; cf. Livy xxiv. II. 7-9. This too has no reference to the organization of the comitia.

[521] N. H. xxxiii. 3. 43: “Maximus census C̅X̅ assium fuit illo (Servio) rege, et ideo haec prima classis.”
