12.  The first places in the list alone excite suspicion, and may have been subsequently added, with a view to round off the number of years between the flight of the king and the burning of the city to 120.

13.  I. VI.  Time and the Occasion of the Reform, ii.  VII.  System of Government

14.  II.  VIII Rome and the Romans of This Epoch.  According to the annals Scipio commands in Etruria and his colleague in Samnium, and Lucania is during this year in league with Rome; according to the epitaph Scipio conquers two towns in Samnium and all Lucania.

15.  I. XI.  Jurisdiction, second note.

16.  They appear to have reckoned three generations to a hundred years and to have rounded off the figures 233 1/3 to 240, just as the epoch between the king’s flight and the burning of the city was rounded off to 120 years (ii.  IX.  Registers of Magistrates, note).  The reason why these precise numbers suggested themselves, is apparent from the similar adjustment (above explained, I. XIV.  The Duodecimal System) of the measures of surface.

17.  I. XII.  Spirits

18.  I. X. Relations of the Western Italians to the Greeks

19.  The “Trojan colonies” in Sicily, mentioned by Thucydides, the pseudo-Scylax, and others, as well as the designation of Capua as a Trojan foundation in Hecataeus, must also be traced to Stesichorus and his identification of the natives of Italy and Sicily with the Trojans.

20.  According to his account Rome, a woman who had fled from Ilion to Rome, or rather her daughter of the same name, married Latinos, king of the Aborigines, and bore to him three sons, Romos, Romylos, and Telegonos.  The last, who undoubtedly emerges here as founder of Tusculum and Praeneste, belongs, as is well known, to the legend of Odysseus.

21.  II.  IV.  Fruitlessness of the Celtic Victory

22.  II.  VII.  Relations between the East and West

23.  II.  VII.  The Roman Fleet

24.  II.  II.  Political Value of the Tribunates, ii.  II.  The Valerio-Horatian Laws

25.  I. XIV.  Corruption of Language and Writing

26.  In the two epitaphs, of Lucius Scipio consul in 456, and of the consul of the same name in 495, -m and -d are ordinarily wanting in the termination of cases, yet -Luciom- and -Gnaivod- respectively occur once; there occur alongside of one another in the nominative -Cornelio- and -filios-; -cosol-, -cesor-, alongside of -consol-, -censor-; -aidiles-, -dedet-, -ploirume- (= -plurimi-) -hec- (nom. sing.) alongside of -aidilis-, -cepit-, -quei-, -hic-.  Rhotacism is already carried out completely; we find -duonoro-(= -bonorum-), -ploirume-, not as in the chant of the Salii -foedesum-, -plusima-.  Our surviving inscriptions do not in general precede the age of rhotacism; of the older -s only isolated traces occur, such as afterwards -honos-, -labos- alongside of -honor-, -labor-; and the similar feminine -praenomina-, -Maio- (= -maios- -maior-) and -Mino-in recently found epitaphs at Praeneste.
