page 14 note 1 So too Decius Mus had won the corona graminea for his part in the victory against the Samnites in 343 B.C. (Livy vii. 37).

page 14 note 3 Cf. the discussion in Münzer, F., Beiträge zur Quellenkritik der Naturgeschichte des Plinius (Berlin, 1897), 277Google Scholar, who suggests that the contradiction between Pliny's claim and that of Livy and Velleius may in part be attributed to their having failed to notice the award in Varro's writings, because, as he says, ‘Varros Ruhm schon den unter Augustus und Tiberius schreibenden Historikern unbekannt war’—but this seems improbable.
