Note 1036 — Chapter IV · THE MAGISTRACY (continued 2)
Reading edition
Festus p. 246 “Ovinia tribunicia intervenit, qua sanctum est ut censores ex omni ordine optimum quemque jurati (Cod. curiati, Mommsen curiatim) in senatum legerent.” If “ex omni ordine” means “from every grade of the magistracy,” the second interpretation is necessary.
