See MRR 2.72. His cognomen was probably Afella (Badian, JRS 57, 1967, 227-228). Put to death at Sulla's command when he persisted in an illegal candidacy for the consulship (App. BC 1.101). Dated to 82 by Badian, CR 9, 1959, 274, rev. of E. Gabba, ed. Appian, BC 1. Against Appian's statement that he was a knight who had held no magistracies, Sumner suggests that he had held the praetorship and offended by moving for the consulship immediately (Veil. 2.27.6; Orators 107).
