Note 1298 — Chapter V · THE PEOPLE AND ITS POWERS
Reading edition
Cic. in Pis. 15, 36 “hoc certe video quod indicant tabulae publicae vos rogatores, vos diribitores, vos custodes fuisse tabularum.” It is the list of votes as certified by the guardians and tellers rather than the separate voting tablets that Cicero here speaks of. But the tablets themselves were kept for a time in loculi (Varro R.R. iii. 5, 18).
