A possible candidate for the consulship of 52, apparently with Pompey's support (Cic. QF 3.8.6, where Gutta is the reading of M; emended to Cotta, Oxford text). On the name, see Cic. Cluent. 127. (Broughton MRR II)
A possible candidate for the consulship of 52 (Cic. QF 3.6 [8].6), and perhaps the praetorius of 54 called Cato in the Mss (QF 3.4.1). See MRR 2.215-216. Shackleton Bailey (CQF 223) joins Constans (Ciceron, Lettres III, p. 257) in suggesting that the name Gutta may be a nickname for one of the known candidates, Plautius Hypsaeus or Metellus Scipio. See also Wiseman, JRS 56, 1966, 113, note 72; NM 281, no. 537; Shackleton Bailey, Studies 42. Note Ti. Gutta, above.
