[2007] For this era we have to depend upon the epitome of Livy and occasional notices of other authors. The complete Livian narrative which treats of the age, should it ever be discovered, would doubtless reveal a considerable number of other comitial measures; but we could hardly expect to find any of more importance than those which are actually known.

[2009] Cic. Brut. 14. 55. Cicero informs us that the law under consideration was passed after the tribunate of M’. Curius, which must have preceded his consulship (290). The enactment should preferably be placed after that of Hortensius, when the patres were no longer in a position to oppose it; cf. Lange, Röm. Alt. i. 409; ii. 216, 654; Herzog, Röm. Staatsverf. i. 281 f. Willems, Sén. Rom. ii. 69 ff., attempts to assign it to 338.

[2012] In this year C. Marcius Rutilus, elected censor a second time (Fast. cos. capit., in CIL. i². p. 22), persuaded the people to adopt this law; Val. Max iv. i. 3; Plut. Cor. 1; Lange, Röm. Alt. i. 797; ii. 122, 654; Herzog, Röm. Staatsverf. i. 317-20; Mommsen, Röm. Staatsr. i. 520.
[2013] Livy, ep. xv; Tac. Ann. xi. 22. Lydus, Mag. i. 27, supposes the newly created quaestors to have been naval officers, and wrongly states their number at twelve. Whether the lex Titia de provinciis quaestoriis (Cic. Mur. 8. 18; Schol. Bob. 316) belongs to this date or to some later time cannot be determined; Mommsen, Röm. Staatsr. ii. 532, n. 3; Lange, Röm. Alt. ii. 654. See further on the act of 267, Mommsen, ibid. ii. 527, 570 ff.; Lange, ibid. i. 891; ii. 124.
