^{page 144 note 1} According to Cicero (de leg. agr. ii, 57Google Scholar) there was some dispute about the ownership of the e Reserved. The word is not found elsewhere. If one may assume a mistake in the text, it may refer to Ergetium mentioned by Pliny, iii, 91. The ager Leontinus seems to have belonged to Hiero, see Carcopino, , La loi de Hiéron, p. 243Google Scholar; Murgantia had participated in a revolt.

^{page 144 note 2} If Cicero's statement is correct, as Carcopino thinks (op. cit. p. 228; contra, Rostovtzeff, , Soc. and Econ. Hist. p. 194Google Scholar). Since those who leased from Sicilians had to pay the tithe in addition to rental it is difficult to see why those who leased ager publicus should escape the tithe.

^{page 146 note 3} Klingmüller finds support for his theory in the provision that the state reserved the right to recover the title to such lands. However, here we have to do with public land sold with reservations, like the trientabula in Italy (Livy, 26, 25 and 31, 13). It is not ordinary provincial land. He is also in error in applying Appian B.C. i, 27, to Africa, for that passage refers to Italian land. Rostovtzeff's description of the situation in Africa, Soc. and Econ. Hist. 278 ff., does not seem to be quite apposite. For the African lands, see the Lex Agraria, in Hardy's Roman Laws and Charters.

^{page 147 note 1} There is no proof that the Senate's objection to colonisation abroad was based upon a theory of inferior property rights. There were several other objections: citizens abroad would be out of reach for military service and other citizens' duties, few actuaUy cared to go so far when land was available in the Po valley, and finally a permanent settlement in the provinces would bind the Senate to a definite foreign policy.

^{page 148 note 4} A part of the Chersonese is called agri Attalici by Cicero (de leg. agr. ii, 50) and classed among the agri regii which became ager publicus (i.e. not tax-paying, but rent-paying). I therefore consider it an estate of the king, not domain-land. Ten years before Rome received Asia, the Thracian barbarians had devastated the Chersonese which was at that time a part of the Attahd kingdom (Diod. 33, 14). Attalus II. had time before his death to win it back (Strabo, 13, 624), and since the old inhabitants were presumably gone, Attalus may have made a part of it a personal estate. This would explain how it became ager publicus under Rome.

^{page 156 note 2} See above, p. 148 n. 4. Agrippa possessed the Chersonese for a while. Since the land had been ager publicus, it is difficult to understand how he acquired it. We do not hear of sales of ager publicus at this time or of grants to individuals. Possibly he exchanged some property with the Treasury. It was to the advantage of Augustus to have a watchful man in possession there.

^{page 159 note 3} Cassius Dio, 51, 4. It is significant that many noble women acquired lands in Egypt in Augustus' day; these properties were of course investments and not imperial gifts. Augustus drew large sums from Egypt, but a great part of his wealth came from legacies; Suetonius Aug. 101, says that this part alone amounted to the amazing sum of 1,400,000,000 sesterces during the last twenty years of the Emperor's life.

^{page 160 note 1} The secularisation of temple lands in Egypt is possibly an exception, but here it is usually supposed that Augustus revived the arrangements of the older Ptolemies.
