Note 808 — MENSIS SEXTILIS.
Reading edition
Dionys. I. 40, who says that the duties were performed by slaves in his day. See Lex. 2925 for a long list of conjectures about this part of the legend. The Potitii never occur in inscriptions; and I think with Jordan (Preller, ii. 291) that the name is imaginary, invented to account for the functions of the slaves.
