quae . . . pateretur : § 535 , e (320, e); B. 283, 2; G. 633; 11.592 (517); H.-B. 523. 206.3

nos . . . addicerent , which should bind us over to our own slaves (i.e. freedmen). The suffrage of the freedmen was a standing subject of controversy in Roman politics. They voted in the four city tribes (see note on sect. 25 , p. 181, l. 26 ), but many efforts were made to get them into the rustic tribes; and Clodus had promised, as praetor, to bring forward a law with this object.
