[2585] Cic. Leg. Agr. ii. 7. 18; Lange, ibid. The Servilian agrarian rogation, 63 (p. 435 below), drawn up before the enactment of the Atian plebiscite of that year which restored the election of sacerdotes, assumes that the comitia pontificis maximi were at the time in use. Most authorities, as Wissowa, Relig. u. Kult. d. Röm. 418; Drumann-Gröbe, Gesch. Roms, iii. 156; Mommsen, Röm. Staatsr. ii. 30, have failed to notice this important fact.
