Amyrtaeus
2. A Saite, who, having been invested with the title of king of Egypt, was joined with Inarus the Libyan in the command of the Egyptians when they rebelled against Artaxerxes Longimanus (B. C. 460).
After the first success of the Egyptians, B. C. 456 [ACHAEMENES], Artaxerxes sent a second immense army against them, by which they were totally defeated. Amyrtaeus escaped to the island of Elbo, and maintained himself as king in the marshy districts of Lower Egypt till about the year 414 B. C., when the Egyptians expelled the Persians, and Amyrtaeus reigned six years, being the only king of the 28th dynasty. His name on the monuments is thought to be Aomahorte. Eusebius calls him Amyrtes and Amyrtanus (*)Amurta/nos). (Hdt. 2.140, 3.15; Thuc. 1.110; Diod. 11.74, 75; Ctesias. apud Phot. pp. 27, 32, 40, Bekker; Euseb. Chron. Armen. pp. 106, 342, ed. Zohrab and Mai; Wilkinson's Ant. Egypt. i. p. 205.) [P.S]

Caeliomonta'nus
4. SP. VIRGINIUS TRICOSTUS CAELIOMONTANUS, A. F. A. N., son of No. 2, consul B. C. 456, in whose consulship the ludi saeculares are said to have been celebrated the second time. (Liv. 3.31; Dionys. A. R. 10.31; Diod. 12.4; Censor. de Die Nat. 17.)
Ici'lius
3. L. Icilius, a son of the preceding (Dionys. A. R. 11.28), is described as a man of great energy and eloquence.
In his first tribunate (B. C. 456), he claimed for the tribunes the right of convoking the senate, and also carried the important law for the assignment of the Aventine (de Aventino publicando) to the plebs, notwithstanding the furious opposition of the senate and the patricians. The Aventine had up to this time been part of the domain land, enjoyed by the patricians, to whom the plebeians paid rent for the houses which they occupied.
By the Icilian law the patricians were indemnified for the value of their buildings; but it was, as Niebuhr remarks, of great importance for the independence of the plebeians that the patricians should not be their landlords, and thus able to control their votes, and likewise, when bloody feuds were so likely to break out, that the plebeians should be in exclusive possession of a quarter of their own, and one too so strong as the Av

Ma'ximus, Vale'rius
2. M. VALERIUS VOLUSI N. LACTUCA MAXIMUS, M'. F., son of the preceding, was consul in B. C. 456.
He opposed Icilius, tribune of the plebs, in his efforts to assign the Aventine hill to the conmons. 2 (Dionys. A. R. 10.31-33; Liv. 3.31.)
The cognomen Lactuca, lettuce, a favourite esculent of the early Romans (Mart. 10.14) belongs to the same class of surnames as Cicer (Cicero) (Plin. Nat. 18.3; Plut. Cic. 1) and Stolo in the Licinian family. (Varr. R. R. 1.2.)
