Note 526 — Chapter III · THE CLASSES OF THE POPULATION AND THE THEORY OF THE CONSTITUTION IN THE DEVELOPED REPUBLIC
Reading edition
Justin. Inst. i. 4 “qui statim ut natus est liber est”; Cic. de Nat. Deor. iii. 18, 45 “in jure civili, qui est matre libera, liber est.” This is the sense in which Cincius (ap. Fest. p. 241) and Livy (x. 8) declare patricius to have been originally equivalent to ingenuus. See p. 5.
