4. Of the praetors who had gone to the provinces, Numerius Fabius died at Massilia, while he was on [p. 303]his way to Nearer Spain. [2] Therefore, when news of¹ this was brought by ambassadors from Massilia, the senate decreed that Publius Furius and Gnaeus Servilius, who were being replaced, should cast lots and decide between them which should govern Nearer Spain under an extension of his imperium. [3] The lot was fortunate in that Publius Furius, the same man under whose command that province had been, was selected to remain.

The same year, since a considerable part of the Ligurian and Gallic land which had been captured in war was unoccupied, a decree of the senate was passed that this land should be assigned to individuals. [4] For this purpose and in accordance with the decree of the senate, the praetor urbanus, Aulus Atilius, presided at the election as decemvirs of Marcus Aemilius Lepidus, Gaius Cassius, Titus Aebutius Parrus, Gaius Tremellius, Publius Cornelius Cethegus, Quintus and Lucius Apuleius, Marcus Caecilius, Gaius Salonius, Gaius Munatius. Their allotments to individual citizens were ten iugera each, to allies of the Latin confederacy, three each.²

[5] About the same time that these events occurred, ambassadors from Aetolia came to Rome to report concerning the quarrels and internal strife of the Aetolians,³ as well as Thessalian ambassadors bringing news of what was happening in Macedonia.
