Note 1 — XIV. The State

H. W. (Henry William) Auden translation

Aulus Gellius (13. 16. 3) explains the difference between cum populo agere and contionem habere; the former = rogare quid populum quod suffragiis suis aut iubeat aut vetet. Cf. Liv. 22. 10. 2 velitis iubeatisne haec sic fieri? also 21. 17. 4. habere contionem (conventio = countio = contio) is equivalent to verba facere ad populum sine ulla rogatione.
