f law, from which there are four excerpts in the Digest (Dig. 41. tit. 1. s. 64; 43. tit. 20. s. 8; 50. tit. 16. s. 241; and tit. 17. s. 73). This is the oldest work from which there are any excerpts in the Digest, and even these may have been taken at second-hand. The work on the Jus Civile was commented on by Servius Sulpicius, Laelius Felix (Gel. 15.27), Pomponius, and Modestinus. The chief hearer (auditor) of Scaevola was C. Aquilius Gallus, the colleague of Cicero in the praetorship (B. C. 64). Cicero himself, a diligent attendant on Scaevola, was not, and did not profess to be a jurist. As pontifex maximus Scaevola must also have been skilled in the Jus Pontificium, and Cicero refers to him as his authority on these matters (de Leg. 2.20). The Cautio Muciana, which is mentioned in the Digest, was devised by this Scaevola. It was a cautio, or security, originally applied to the case of certain conditional legacies; but afterwards to cases when a heres was instituted sub conditio
Scae'vola, Mu'cius 7. Q. Mucius Scaevola, was the son of Publius, consul, B. C. 133, and pontifex maximus (Cic. Off. 1.32, 3.15), and an example whom Cicero quotes, of a son who aimed at excellence in that which had given his fattier distinction. He was tribunus plebis in B. C. 106, the year in which Cicero was born, aedilis curulis in B. C. 104, and consul in B. C. 95, with L. Licinius Crassus, the orator, as his colleague. In their consulate was enacted the Lex Mucia Licinia de Civitate (Cic. Off. 3.11), a measure which appears to have contributed to bring on the Marsic or Social War. After his consulship Scaevola was the governor (proconsul) of the province Asia, in which capacity he gained the esteem of the people who were under his government; and, to show their gratitude, the Greeks of Asia instituted a festival day (dies Mucia) to commemorate the virtues of their governor (comp. Valer. Max. 8.15). Subsequently he was made pontifex maximus, by which title he is often distinguish
es of their governor (comp. Valer. Max. 8.15). Subsequently he was made pontifex maximus, by which title he is often distinguished from Quintus Mucius the Augur. He lost his life in the consulship of C. Marius the younger and Cn. Papirius Carbo (B. C. 82), having been proscribed by the Marian party, from which we may conclude that he was of the faction of Sulla, or considered to be, though so upright a man could not be the blind partisan of any faction. (Vell. 2.26.) The pontifex in vain fled fo.26; Lucan, 2.126). His body was thrown into the Tiber (Appian, App. BC 1.88). The story in Valerius Maximus (9.11) of an attempt by C. Fimbria to murder Scaevola at the funeral of C. Marius (B. C. 86), does not refer to the death of Scaevola in B. C. 82, as some commentators have supposed. The facts of this attempt to assassinate Scaevola are recorded by Cicero (pro S. Rosc. Amer. 12). The assassin was C. Flavins Fimbria, who afterwards met with the fate that he deserved in Asia.

be, though so upright a man could not be the blind partisan of any faction. (Vell. 2.26.) The pontifex in vain fled for refuge to the Vestal altars and the everburning fires; he was killed in the presence of the goddess, and her statue was drenched with his blood (Florus, 3.21; Cic. de Or. 3.3; Vell. 2.26; Lucan, 2.126). His body was thrown into the Tiber (Appian, App. BC 1.88). The story in Valerius Maximus (9.11) of an attempt by C. Fimbria to murder Scaevola at the funeral of C. Marius (B.

The assassin was C. Flavins Fimbria, who afterwards met with the fate that he deserved in Asia. (Plut. Sull. 100.25.) The virtues of Scaevola are recorded by Cicero, who, after the death of the Augur, became an attendant (auditor) of the pontifex. His political opinions probably attached him to the part
