[13arg] Whom Marcus Cato calls classici or “belonging to a class,” and whom infra classem or “below class.”NOT all those men who were enrolled in the five classes 1 were called classici, but only the men of the first class, who were rated at a hundred and twenty-five thousand asses or more. But those of the second class and of all the other classes, who were rated at [p. 61] a smaller sum than that which I just mentioned, were called infra classes. I have briefly noted this, because in connection with the speech of Marcus Cato In Support of the Voconian Law the question is often raised, what is meant by classicus and what by infra classem.
