1 B.C. 171
2 A similar, but even stricter, emergency measure is recorded in XXXVI. iii. 3 (191 B.C.), just before the campaigns against Antiochus.
3 His previous consulship was in 186 B.C., cf. XXXIX. viii ff.; he had been envoy to Greece and to Perseus just before the outbreak of the war, XLII. xxxviii-xlvii.
4 He was tribune in 171 B.C. (XLII. xxxii. 7), going out of office on December 9th of that year; the interval of a year and three months was apparently regularly regarded as fulfilling the requirement of two years which, according to the Lex Villia Annalis (XL. xliv. 1), cf. Cicero, Philippics 5, 17, de Legibus 3, 3, had to elapse between two terms in office.
5 B.C. 171
6 The text is uncertain here; other interpretations proposed by scholars include, “The Fathers accused the commissioners of minimizing ... because they reported,” and, “The Fathers were glad to hear the commissioners minimize .. .” (see critical note).
7 See appendix following this Book, pp. 87-88.
8 The priesthood held by Flamininus and the name of his successor are missing; he was probably the augur elected in 213 B.C., XXV. ii. 2.
9 B.C. 171
10 Probably a praetor of this year.
