Note 133 — XXIV (A I, 19)
Evelyn S. (Evelyn Shirley) Shuckburgh translation
Pedarii were probably those senators who had not held curule office. They were not different from the other senators in point of legal rights, but as ex-magistrates were asked for their sententia first, they seldom had time to do anything but signify by word their assent to one or other motion, or to cross over to the person whom they intended to support.
