[1548] Cic. Cat. i. 11. 28: “Numquam in hac urbe, qui a re publica defecerunt, civium iura tenuerunt”; Mommsen, Röm. Staatsr. iii. 359; Lange, Röm. Alt. ii. 560.
[1549] Plut. Ti. Gracch. 16; p. 368 below. The idea of Tiberius is to be inferred from the law which his brother afterward passed.

[1552] Cic. Rab. Perd. 4. 12: “C. Gracchus legem tulit, ne de capite civium Romanorum iniussu vestro iudicaretur”; Cat. iv. 5. 10; Verr. v. 63. 163; Sest. 28. 61; Schol. Gronov. 412: “Lex Sempronia iniussu populi non licebat quaeri de capite civis Romani”; Schol. Ambros. 370; Plut. C. Gracch. 4; p. 371 below.

[1555] Cic. Dom. 31. 82 f.; Plut. C. Gracch. 4; cf. Lange, Röm. Alt. ii. 561. It is not probable, as Greenidge, Leg. Proced. 330; Hist. of Rome, i. 201, has assumed, that the Sempronian law transferred jurisdiction in such cases from the centuries to the tribes. The comitia tributa had long exercised the right to condemn those who had fled into exile to avoid trial; p. 249, 267, 257, n. 5 (3).
