    • 6 The father of Cato of Utica died before 91 (Plut. Cat. Min. 1.1). He had held the tribunate and was a candidate for the praetorship at the time of his death (Gell. 13.20.14). This tribunate is attributed in Drumann-Groebe (5.214) to L. Porcius Cato, Cos. 89, whose tenure of the office is not independently attested, but by Niccolini (FTP 205) to Cato's father. On the order of the husbands of Livia, Cato's mother, see Münzer, APF 295-297. (Broughton MRR II)
    • The bill of these two Tribunes to recall Metellus Numidicus from exile was opposed by Marius (still Consul, December, 100), and vetoed by Furius (App. BC 1.33; Oros. 5.17.11; cf. Plut. -Mar. 31.1; Gell. 13.20.14; Dio 28, fr. 95.1-3). (Broughton MRR II)
