1. Nothing more is heard of this proposal, and in xvii. 1 two other legati are mentioned. It has been reported (in XXXV. xxiii. 5) that Titus Quinctius was one of five legati sent to Greece to exercise auctoritas, and Plutarch ( Flamininus xvii) speaks of him as legatus to Acilius. It is therefore probable that the sources confused the two Quinctii and that thus the tradition came into existence that one of them had been legatus to Acilius.
