  • Tr. Pl. 90. See MRR 2.26, 31, note 9. In view of the many historical and legal difficulties involved in accepting a trial of Cn. Pompeius Strabo lege Varia de maiestate, cum primum senatores cum equitibus Romanis lege Plotia iudicarent (Cicero Corn., quoted in Ascon. 79C), Badian advocates acceptance of Pighius' emendation Pomponium (Historia 18, 1969, 465-475; cf. in Greenidge and Clay(2), E. W. Gray's note: perhaps Cn. Pomponius, tr. Pl., 90 B.C.?). See also E. Gabba, ANRW 1.1, 1972, 791, note 161.[166] (Broughton MRR III)
