Note 115 — COUNTER-REVOLUTION. LEPIDUS. SERTORIUS. POMPEY.
Havilland Le Mesurier Chepmell translation
It has been said that all the Roman gentile names, ended in -ius; but in names like Cæcina, Vibena, Porsena, and others, the termination -na remained, even after the clan had become Roman citizens. Ernesti, who had not perceived this, mistook Cæcina for a cognomen, and sought for the name of the clan; but the inscriptions confirm the fact of its being a gentile name.
