Another version (ib. 4 and lviii. 8) had only a single perjurer. From these men and those mentioned above their horses, if they had such from the state, were taken away, and all were ejected from their tribes and made aerarii.Transfer to one of the four city tribes was a degradation, but, since the reform of 312 B.C., aerarii (taxpayers only) were allowed to vote and serve in the army. And the diligence of the censors did not confine itself to regulating the senate and the order of the knights.

And of these above two thousand names were placed on the list of the aerarii, and they all were ejected from their t

Much the same facts in regard to pay and grain were reported from Sardinia by Aulus Cornelius Mammula, the propraetor.

And in place of the deceased he would make his choice in such a way that rank should obviously have been preferred to rank, not man to man.
