Note 947 — Chapter III · (691-695.)
Reading edition
Macrobius, Saturnalia, I. 16.—Priscian, vi., p. 710, edit. Putsch.—Macrobius (l. c.) quotes the 16th book of the treatise of Cæsar on the Auspices.—Dio Cassius (xxxvii.) expresses himself thus: “Above all, because he had supported Labienus against Rabirius, and had not voted for the death of Lentulus.” But the Greek author errs: the nomination of Cæsar to the high pontificate took place before the conspiracy of Catiline. (See Velleius Paterculus, II. 43.)
