Note g — Chapter the ninth. Of subordinate MAGISTRATES.

This office, Mr Dalton (just. cap. 50.) says, exactly answers that of the curatores viarum of the Romans: but, I should guess that theirs was an office of rather more dignity and authority than ours, not only from comparing the method of making and mending the Roman ways with those of our country parishes; but also because one Thermus, who was the curator of the Flaminian way, was candidate for the consulship with Julius Caesar. (Cic. ad Attic. l. 1. ep. 1.)
