Note 2795 — Chapter XVII · COMITIAL LEGISLATION From Sulla to the End of the Republic, 82 to about 30

Cic. Att. ii. 18. 2. The provision regarding the oath was not introduced till it was found that the senate opposed.

Supplementary to these Julian laws is the lex Mamilia Roscia Peducaea Alliena Fabia, three articles of which are contained in Gromat. 263-6; Bruns, Font. Iur. 96-8; Girard, Textes, 69 f. Other references to a lex Mamilia are Gromat. 11. 5; 12. 12; 37. 24; 144. 19; 169. 7; Cic. Leg. i. 21. 55. The last proves it to have been passed before 51. The seeming citation of the third article as an agrarian law of Gaius Caesar by Dig. xlvii. 21. 3, may indicate merely a borrowing of this article from the earlier law of Caesar, just as article 2 is substantially repeated in Lex Col. Genet. 104. Mommsen, in Röm. Feldmess. ii. 221-6; Röm. Staatsr. ii. 628, n. 4, considers it the work of a second sub-committee (Vviri) of the vigintiviri provided for by the agrarian law, enacted to furnish rules for the administration of the latter. Lange (Röm. Alt. ii. 690; iii. 288) and more decidedly Willems (Sén. Rom. i. 498, n. 5) prefer to regard it as a tribunician law and to assign it to 55.
