Note 597 — CXL (Q FR II, 13)
Evelyn S. (Evelyn Shirley) Shuckburgh translation
Comitia habendi causa. No such had been appointed since B.C. 202, and the irregular dictatorship of Sulla in B.C. 82 made the idea distasteful. Pompey was understood to wish for the appointment, now and later on. See pp. 326, 335.
