[2549] Livy, ep. lxxxiv: “Novis civibus senatus consulto suffragium datum est.”
[2550] P. 58 above. Lange, Röm. Alt. iii. 141, unnecessarily assumes a consular lex Papiria for the purpose.
In the year 87 the propretorian imperium of Appius Claudius Pulcher, father of the famous tribune of 58, was abrogated by a lex of an unknown tribune. The ground was a refusal to obey the summons of the tribune in question; Cic. Dom. 31. 83; Münzer, in Pauly-Wissowa, Real-Encycl. iii. 2848 f.
