Note 2284 — Chapter XVI · COMITIAL LEGISLATION From the Gracchi to Sulla 134-82
Reading edition
Cf. Strachan-Davidson, Appian, p. 23. It was under the second contingency that C. Gracchus was reëlected tribune without being a candidate; Plut. C. Gracch. 8. The third time, though as some averred he had a majority of votes, the presiding tribune dared reject them; ibid. 12; Meyer, Gesch. d. Gracch. 94, n. 3. Fowler’s suggestion (Eng. Hist. Rev. xx. 217) that the law permitted but one reëlection of an individual is on the whole unlikely.
