1. One of the four praetors was at this time assigned by lot as praetor urbanus, in charge of judicial administration. He ranked next after the consuls and administered affairs in the city in their absence.

2. Such boards usually consisted of three members only. This task seemed especially difficult or important.

3. These districts had revolted to Hannibal, and part of their land was taken from them in punishment.

4. Apparently a fragmentary quotation from the law itself.
