Seston (REL 29, 1951, 435-436), Cicero's first impression that the Flavius who revealed the Fasti and the Legis actiones was a scriba who lived before 304 (Att. 6.1.8; De Or. 1.186; cf. Plin. NH 33.17) wins support from the discrepancy in the filiation, as it suggests that two different persons have been confused. See L. R. Taylor, VDRR 134-135; A. K. Michels, The Calendar of the Roman Republic 108-118. (Broughton MRR III)

    • Cn. f. (Liv.), but Anni f., Piso fr. 27 Peter; Cic. Att. 6.1.8; Plin. NH 33.17. According to Licinius Macer, he was no longer a scriba but had held, presumably since 312, the offices of Tribune of the Plebs, III vir Nocturnus, and III vir coloniae deducendae, but the office of III vir Noct. was established, it seems, toward 289 (Mommsen, Str. 2.594). Piso (fr. 27 Peter) has him give up the post of scriba on being elected, while Pliny on the authority of old annals has him Tr. Pl. and Aed. at the same time. Niccolini suggests that he was Tr. Pl. in 305 and began his aedileship immediately thereafter (FTP 75f.) See Seidel 13. (Broughton MRR I)
    • A scriba of Ap. Claudius the Censor, and the first person of freedman stock to attain this office (Piso, fr. 27 Peter; Lic. Macer, fr. 18 Peter; Cic. Att. 6.1.8; Mur. 25; Liv. 9.46.1; Diod. 20.36.6; Val. Max. 2.5.2; 9.3.3 (praetor); Plin. NH 33.17; Pompon. Dig. 1.2.2.7; Macrob. Sat. 1.15.9). According to Livy (9.46.5-6) he published as Aedile the civile ius and the Fasti, and dedicated the temple of Concord, but Cicero (above) and Pliny (above) claim that he did so as a scriba (cf. Cic. De Or. 1.186). (Broughton MRR I)
