[683] Vir et oratione gravis et auctoritate (Cic. _Brut_. 28. 109) [Greek: _haethei de kai logo kai plouto tois malista timomenois kai dynamenois apo touton enamillos_] (Plut. _C. Gracch_. 8).

[688] Plut. _C. Gracch_. 9 [Greek: _Libios de kai taen apophoran tautaen_] (which had been imposed by the Gracchan laws) [Greek: _ton neimamenon aphairon haeresken autois_]. The tense of _neimamenon_ seems to show that the Gracchan as well as the Livian settlers are meant. See Underhill in loc. In any case, the reimposition of the _vectigal_ on the allotments by the law of 119 (App. _Bell. Civ_. i. 27) proves that it had been remitted before this date.

[692] Appian (_Bell. Civ_. i. 24) says that Gracchus was accompanied by Fulvius Flaccus. Plutarch (_C. Gracch_. 10) implies that the latter stayed at Rome.

[693] App. l.c. Appian represents this measure as having been proposed after the return of the commissioners to Rome. The words of Plutarch (_C. Gracch_. 8) [Greek: _apaertaesato to plaethos ... kakon ... epi koinoniai politeias tous Latinous_] probably refer to an invitation of the Latins to share in these citizen colonies.
