Note 1555 — Chapter XI · THE FUNCTIONS OF THE COMITIA CENTURIATA
Reading edition
Cic. Dom. 31. 82 f.; Plut. C. Gracch. 4; cf. Lange, Röm. Alt. ii. 561. It is not probable, as Greenidge, Leg. Proced. 330; Hist. of Rome, i. 201, has assumed, that the Sempronian law transferred jurisdiction in such cases from the centuries to the tribes. The comitia tributa had long exercised the right to condemn those who had fled into exile to avoid trial; p. 249, 267, 257, n. 5 (3).
