Note 2794 — Chapter XVII · COMITIAL LEGISLATION From Sulla to the End of the Republic, 82 to about 30
Reading edition
Dio Cassius, xxxviii. 7. 1 f. (cf. Schol. Bob. 302; App. B. C. ii. 12. 42), is probably wrong in saying that death was the penalty for refusal to swear. Cicero (Sest. 28. 61) and Plutarch (Cat. Min. 32) speak simply of heavy penalties.
