1. Such bonds, designed to secure the appearance for trial of a person charged with a crime, were secured, not directly from the defendant, but from bondsmen from among his friends. For this practice, cf. III. xiii. 8, XXV. iv. 8-10, XXXIX. xli. 7, and Summary XLVIII. Aulus Gellius, XVI. x. 8, mentions bondsmen as one of the obsolete legal forms abolished by the lex Aebutia (exact date unknown). After this time, bonds were posted by the defendant.
2. B.C. 169

II. xliii. 4, IV. xlix. 6 and liii. 7, IX. xxxiv. 26, XXIV. xliii. 3, or that the senate would support them, cf. XXIX. xxxvii. 17.
