Note 1395 — Chapter XI · THE FUNCTIONS OF THE COMITIA CENTURIATA
Reading edition
Livy iii. 34. 6. Doubt has been thrown on the early date of the Twelve Tables by Pais, Storia di Roma, I. i. 558-606, and on their official character as well by Lambert, La question de l’authenticité des XII Tables et les annales maximi; L’histoire traditionelle des XII Tables et les critères d’inauthenticité des traditions en usage dans l’école de Mommsen in Mélanges Ch. Appleton, 503-626; La fonction du droit civil comparé, 390-718; Le problème de l’origine des XII Tables, in Revue générale de droit, 1902. 385 ff., 481 ff. Their views are controverted by Greenidge, in Eng. Hist. Rev. xx (1905). 1-21. For other literature on the subject, see Jahresb. ü. Altwiss. cxxxiv (1907). 17 ff.
According to Diod. xii. 26. 1, the last two tables were drawn up by Valerius and Horatius, consuls in 449.
