Domitia lex.
Cn. Domitius Ahenobarbus Trib. Pleb. enacted a law,* 1.1 that
the Colleges of priests should not as they were wont, ad∣mit
whom they would into the order of Priesthood: but it
should be in the power of the people. And because it was
contrary to their religion, that Church-dignities should
be bestowed by the common people, hence did he ordaine
that the lesser part of the people, namely seventeene Tribes
should elect whom they thought fit, and afterward hee
should haue his confirmation or admission from the Col∣lege.
