[Footnote 124: In the year of Rome 523, Spurius Carvilius
Ruga repudiated a fair, a good, but a barren, wife,
(Dionysius Hal. l. ii. p. 93. Plutarch, in Numa, p. 141;
Valerius Maximus, l. ii. c. 1; Aulus Gellius, iv. 3.) He was
questioned by the censors, and hated by the people; but his
divorce stood unimpeached in law.]
