[1418] Leg. Agr. iii. 2. 5; cf. Leg. i. 15. 42; Rosc. Am. 43. 125; Schol. Gron. 435; Appian, B. C. i. 98. 458 ff.; Plut. Sull. 33.
[1419] Cic. Dom. 30. 79; Caecin. 33. 95; 35. 102.
[1420] P. 416, n. 1.
[1421] Cic. Phil. i. 8. 19 obscurely suggests that these two laws were centuriate, though Lange, Röm. Alt. ii. 606, doubts it; cf. p. 455.
[1422] Cf. Appian, B. C. iii. 30. 117.
[1423] Cic. Phil. x. 8. 17; xiii. 15. 31; cf. v. 19. 53.
[1424] Cic. Leg. Agr. ii. 11. 26: “Centuriata lex censoribus ferebatur.”
[1425] P. 185. Before the institution of the censorship the original motive of the sanctioning act—to leave the curiae a share in the elective function—must have given way to the purpose stated by Cicero and represented here in the text.
[1426] Livy iv. 24. 3 ff.; cf. ix. 33 f.
[1427] Livy viii. 12. 16; cf. p. 300. Livy’s words referring to the censorship are corrupt, but the passage seems to have the meaning here given; cf. Mommsen, Röm. Staatsr. ii. 340, n. 2. It was not till 131 that advantage was taken of the provision; Livy, ep. lix. Herzog, Röm. Staatswerf. i. 257, refuses to believe that both censors might now be plebeian.
