13 Cicero does not make it clear whether Cornutus served under the Consuls of 90 or of 89 or of both years, though he was among "tum... praetorios belli gerendi peritissimos." Cichorius (RS 140f.) supplied his name in third place on the staff of Pompeius Strabo (ILS 8888) as a praetorian Legate, and concludes from Sisenna fr. 20 Peter (where he emends Commutus to Cornutus) that he also served in 90. Could the Legate Caecilius in Liv. Per. 76 really be Cornutus and not Caecilius Pius? In Rossbach's text on p. 84, Pinna in line 19 has been emended to Cinna and the same word in line 20 to Pio although it may be merely a repetition. (Broughton MRR II)

Cic. Font. 43; cf. Liv. Per. 76; ILS 8888, and Cichorius, RS 140f. He probably served under Pompeius Strabo. See 90, Praetors, and Legates, and note 13. (Broughton MRR II)

11 On Cornutus, see 90, and 89, Legates. In Liv. Per. 76 the names are given as L. Cinna (Pinna Mss) et Caecilio Pio (Pinna Mss) legatis. Since the first Pinna is certainly Cinna the second may lack all authority. Moreover, Metellus Pius apparently held a proconsular command in Southern Italy (see Promagistrates) after his praetorship in 89. It is tempting to restore Cornutus on the basis of Cic. Font. 43, and Cichorius, RS 140f. (Broughton MRR II)
Legatus (Liv. Per. 76), presumably under Pompeius Strabo (see 90, and 89, Legates). (Broughton MRR II)
