Note 632 — Chapter VI · THE GRACCHI, MARIUS, AND SYLLA. (621-676.)
Reading edition
The lands taken from the town of Leontium were of the extent of thirty thousand jugera. They were, in 542, farmed out by the censors; but at the end of some time, there remained only one citizen of the country among the eighty-four farmers who had installed themselves in them; all the others belonged to the Roman nobility. (Mommsen, ii. 75.—Cicero, Second Prosecution of Verres, III. 46 et seq.)
