    • 1 1 On Perperna's grandfather, see Degrassi 126, on 130 B. C., who is inclined to identify him with a Legate to Gentius of Illyria in 168 (Liv. 44.27.11). The word Nepos in Chr. 354 shows that the line of descent was given and disproves the story in Valerius Maximus (3.4.5) that the present Consul's father was expelled from Rome after his son's consulship for illegally assuming Roman citizenship. (Broughton MRR II)
