[2019] We are informed by Theophilus, iv. 3. 15, that this statute was a plebiscite adopted at a secession of the plebs, meaning most probably that of 287. But his view may be merely an inference from Ulpian, in Dig. ix. 2. 1 and Pomponius, ibid. i. 2. 2. 8; cf. Roby, Röm. Priv. Law, ii. 186. The law is the subject of Dig. ix. 2 f.; Justinian, Inst. iv. 3; Theoph. Inst. iv. 3. Voigt, Röm. Rechtsgesch. i. 69, assigns it to 287. On p. 71 f. he adds other chapters which he has gathered from various sources. See also Karlowa, Röm. Rechtsgesch. ii. 793 ff. Injury committed by dogs was made actionable by the lex Pesolania of unknown though early date; Paul. Sent. i. 15. 1; cf. Dig. ix. 1. 1. 15. Voigt, Röm. Rechtsgesch. i. 39, n. 18, assigns it to the time closely following the decemviral legislation; cf. Cuq, in Daremberg et Saglio, Dict. iii. 1158.
The lex Mamilia concerning arbitri, but not more definitely known (Cic. Leg. i. 21. 55), may belong to the consul C. Mamilius, 239.

[2022] As here used, “Flaminian” is not confined to the lifetime of Flaminius, but designates the period during which lasted the impetus given by him to the activity of the assemblies—approximately to the end of the war with Hannibal.

[2024] Cato, Orig. ii. 10 (in Varro, R. R. i. 2. 7): “Ager Gallicus Romanus vocatur, qui viritim cis Ariminum datus est ultra agrum Picentium”; Cic. Brut. 14. 57; Acad. Pr. ii. 5. 13. There is reason for believing that about this time the Licinian-Sextian agrarian enactments were revived and extended by a comitial statute; p. 296, 363.
