Note 291 — Chapter III · THE THIRTY-FIVE TRIBES
Reading edition
Varro, De vit. pop. rom. i, in Non. Marc. 43: “Et extra urbem in regiones xxvi agros viritim liberis attribuit.” As this statement does not rest upon an independent source, but is merely an interpretation of Fabius and Cato, it has not the value which Huschke (Verf. d. Serv. 72 f., 85 f.), Mommsen (Röm. Staatsr. iii. 168 f.), and Meyer (in Hermes, xxx. 11) attach to it.
