[Footnote 185: Such is the number assigned by Valer'us
Maximus, (l. ix. c. 2, No. 1,) Florus (iv. 21) distinguishes
2000 senators and knights. Appian (de Bell. Civil. l. i. c.
95, tom. ii. p. 133, edit. Schweighauser) more accurately
computes forty victims of the senatorian rank, and 1600 of
the equestrian census or order.]
