[Greek: dorodokia] in Plutarch, 'gift
receiving,' and it ought to correspond to the Roman Peculatus. But
[Greek: dorodokia] also means corruption by bribes. Bribery is [Greek:
dekasmos] in Plutarch, which is expressed generally by the Roman
Ambitus, and specially by the verb 'decuriare.' (See Cicero's Oration
Pro Cn. Plancio, Ed. Wunder.) The offence of Scipio was Ambitus. (Dion
Cassius, 40. c. 51, &c.; Appianus, _Civil Wars_, ii. 24.) As to Roman
Bribery, see the article BRIBERY, 'Political Dictionary,' by the
author of this note, whose contribution begins p. 416.]

[Footnote 333: These 360 Judices appear to have been chosen for the
occasion of these trials. (Velleius Pater. ii. 76; Goettling,
_Roemische Staatsverfassung_, p. 482.)]

[Footnote 334: T. Munatius Plancus Bursa, a tribune of the Plebs. In
B.C. 52 Milo and Clodius with their followers had an encounter in
which Clodius was killed. Tho people, with whom he was a favourite,
burnt his body in the Curia Hostilia, and the Curia with it. (Dion
Cassius, 40, c. 48.) Plancus was charged with encouraging this
disorder, and he was brought to trial. Cicero was his accuser; he was
condemned and exiled. (Cicero, _Ad Diversos_, vii. 2.)]

[Footnote 335: Plautius Hypsaeus was not a consular. He had been the
quaestor of Pompeius. He and Scipio had been candidates for the
consulship this year, and were both charged with bribery. (Dion
Cassius, 40, c. 53.) Hypsaeus was convicted.]

[Footnote 336: See the Life of Caesar, c. 29. Pompeius had lent Caesar
two legions (c. 52). Compare Dion Cassius, 40. c. 65, and Appianus,
_Civil Wars_, ii. 29. The illness of Pompeius and the return of the
legions from Gaul took place in the year B.C. 50. Appius Claudius (c.
57) was sent by the Senate to conduct the legions from Gaul. Dion
Cassius (40. c. 65) says that Pompeius had lent Caesar only one legion,
but that Caesar had to give up another also, inasmuch as Pompeius
obtained an order of the Senate that both he and Caesar should give a
legion to Bibulus, who was in Syria, for the Parthian war. (Appianus,
_Civil Wars_, ii. 29; _Bell. Gall._ viii. 54.) Thus Pompeius in effect
gave up nothing, but Caesar parted with two legions. The legions were
not sent to Syria, but both wintered in Capua. The consul C. Claudius
Marcellus (B.C. 50) gave both these legions to Pompeius.]

Marcellus a violent opponent of Caesar. He bui
