Maluginensis
6. P.
Cornelius Maluginensis, P. F. M. N., consular tribune in B. C. 397 (
Liv. 5.16;
Diod. 14.85), and magister equitum to the dictator M. Furius Camillus in B. C. 396.
At least the Fasti Capitolini name
Maluginensis as the magister equitum in this year; but Livy (
5.19) and Plutarch (
Camill. 5) call the magister equitum P. Cornelius
Scipio. He was consular tribune a second time in B. C. 390, the year in which Rome was taken by the Gauls. (
Liv. 5.36;
Diod. 14.110.) In Diodorus and in the common editions of Livy his praenomen is Servius, but in some of the best MSS. of Livy he is called Publius.
