Reading edition
Cic. ad Fam. xvi. 12, 3 “se praesentem trinum nundinum petiturum”; Sallust, Cat. 18 “post paulo Catilina pecuniarum repetundarum reus prohibitus erat consulatum petere, quod intra legitimos dies profiteri nequiverit.” The interval was probably twenty-four days. See the section on the comitia.
