[Footnote 6:  In view of the fact that Sex.  Pacuvius Taurus does not come on the scene (as tribune of the plebs) till B.C. 9-7, it seems more likely, as Boissevain remarks, that Apudius is the correct name of the author of this piece of flattery.]

[Footnote 7:  Boissevain thinks that the passage indicated was probably in Book Twenty-two (one of the lost portions of the work).  Compare Fragment LXXIV (1) in Volume VI of this translation.—­Boissee suggested Book Forty-nine, Chapter 34.  There, too, the correspondence is not complete.]
