Diod. preserves all or part of eight names, omitting Sestius and Curiatius, Fast. Cap. all or part of six with space for the rest, those of Sestius, Curiatius, Romilius and Postumius, which are supplied from the information on their consulships (Degrassi 26f., 94, 364f.). According to Dion. Hal. (10.56.2) they were all consulars, but this principle was not applied consistently in Livy or Fast. Cap. See notes 3 and 4. (Broughton MRR I)
Prepared and caused the enactment of ten tables of laws (Cic. Rep. 2.61; Liv. 3.33.1-36.2; Diod. 12.23.1; Dion. Hal. 10.56.1-2; Tac. Ann. 3.27; Gell. 11.18.6; 17.21.15; 20.1; Dig. 1.2.2.3-4 and 24; Zon. 7.18). (Broughton MRR I)
The authenticity of patrician Genucii is doubted (RE no. 12, and 7.1206). The name appears in Diod. (12.23) as {Gr}, while in Dion. Hal. it is {Gr} (10.54.2; cf. 10.56.2). On Claudius and his reported death in 470, see RE no. 123; and 470, Tribunes of the Plebs. On his Decemvirate, see also Suet. Tib. 2 (Claudius Regillianus). (Broughton MRR I)
Named as Consuls in Fast. Cap., Degrassi 26f., 94, 364f.; cf. Cic. Rep. 2.61; Chr. 354 (Sabino II et Augurino); but in other sources are listed as Consuls-elect, and then placed at the head of the board of Decemviri (Liv. 3.33.4; Dion. Hal. 10.54.4, and 56.1; Zon. 7.18). See also Dig. 1.2.2.4 and 24. (Broughton MRR I)
