Note 307 — Chapter III · THE THIRTY-FIVE TRIBES
Reading edition
Among the scholars who insist that originally country as well as city was divided into tribes are Müller, J. J., in Philol. xxxiv (1876). 112 ff., and more recently Kubitschek, De trib. or. (1882); Imp. rom. trib. discr. (1889), 2. Beloch, Ital. Bund (1880), 28, begins with twenty-one tribes in 495, considering it impossible to penetrate earlier conditions. Niese, Röm. Gesch. (1906). 38 and n. 3, more positively assigns the creation of twenty-one tribes to that date.
