Note 1119 — Chapter V · CONSULSHIP OF CÆSAR AND BIBULUS. (695.)

Dio Cassius, XXXVIII. 7.—“The Campanian law contains a provision which compels the candidates to swear, in the assembly of the people, that they will never propose anything contrary to the Italian legislation upon property. All have sworn, except Laterensis, who preferred desisting from the candidature for the tribuneship to taking the oath, and much gratitude has been shown to him for it.” (Cicero, Epistles to Atticus, II. 18.)
