He proposed the measure which deprived Caesetius and Marullus of their tribunician powers (see above; Liv. Per. 116; Nic. Dam. Vit. Caes. 20.9, FGrH 2A.405; 22.1, ibid. 406; App. BC 2.108; Dio 44.10.3; 46.49.2; Obseq. 70), and it was said had already drawn up a bill at Caesar's wish empowering Caesar to marry such and so many wives as he wished (Suet. Iul. 52.3; Dio 44.7.3). He was killed by the crowd after Caesar's funeral by mistake for the Praetor Cinna (Val. Max. 9.9.1; Suet. Iul. 85; Plut. Caes. 68.2; Brut. 20.5-6; App. BC 2.147; Dio 44.50.4, and 52.2; 45.6.3; 46.49.2; 47.11.3; Obseq. 70; Zonar. 10.12). On his identification with the poet Cinna, see Plut. Brut. 20.5; Schwabe, Philologus 47 (1889) 169f., and against it, Deutsch, CJ 20 (1925) 326ff. (Broughton MRR II)
