[2597] App. B. C. i. 103. 482; Oros. v. 22. 4; Eutrop. v. 9. Willems, Sén. Rom. i. 404, calculates that the number was reduced to about a hundred and fifty.

[2600] Cf. Fröhlich, in Pauly-Wissowa, Real-Encycl. iv. 1559.

[2601] P. 402. The second view, which seems more reasonable, is held by Lange, Röm. Alt. iii. 156.

[2603] Willems, ibid. 406 f.
