Note 1827 — Chapter X · THE PRINCIPATE
Reading edition
Cic. pro Tullio 16, 38 “quid attinuit te tam multis verbis a praetore postulare ut adderet in judicium ‘injuria,’ et, quia non impetrasses, tribunos plebis appellare et hic in judicio queri praetoris iniquitatem quod de injuria non addiderit?” So the tribunician veto might be employed to elicit an exception. Cic. Acad. Prior. ii. 30, 97 “Tribunum aliquem censeo adeant [al. videant]: a me istam exceptionem nunquam impetrabunt.”
