Note 703 — CLXIX (F VII, 12)
Evelyn S. (Evelyn Shirley) Shuckburgh translation
Ulubræ—like other municipia—had a patronus at Rome to look after its interests. If Trebatius (who was its patronus) would take no part in politics, he would be of no use to the Ulubrani. πολιτεύεσθαι, "to act as a citizen," "to act as a member of a political body."
