The Latini appealed to Scipio in person, and by his influence a bill was passed by the people which withdrew from the commission its jurisdiction and remitted to the consuls the decision as to what were private and what domain lands.  This was a mild way of killing the law, and resulted in that.  It had, however, in great measure, fulfilled its object and left little territory in the hands of the Roman state.

[Footnote 2:  Mommsen states that this privilege was limited to 1000 jugera in all, and Wordsworth follows him, making the same statement.  Lange, Roem.  Alterthuemer, III, 9, agrees with Mommsen and cites, App.  B.C., I, 9, 11; Vell., 2, 6; Livy, Ep., 58; Aurelius Victor, 64; Sic.  Flacc., p. 136, Lach.  I find no direct proof in the places mentioned of what Lange asserts while App. (I, 11), says:  [Greek:  “kai paisi, ois eisi paides ekasto kai touton ta aemisea."].  Long says there is no proof of any limitation as to number of sons, while Ihne, Duruy and Nitzsch are agreed in following the statement of Appian, as I have here done.  See Marquardt u.  Momm., Roem.  Alter, 106.]
