page 195 note 3 Livy xxxix. 39; a chapter worth attentive study for other reasons. The identity of the C. Valerius Flaccus here mentioned seems to be established; Livy expressly says that he was Flamen Dialis.

page 195 note 7 Livy xl. 42; on this occasion the tribes decided in favour of the Pontifex Maximus. A mutilated passage in Festus (p. 343) seems to show that the appeal might be successful. See Mommsen, Slaatsrecht, i. 22, 30 note.
