- ...P. Sempronius.
- ...App. Claudius.
SEeing that wee settle the Consulship of the former yeer, in Ogulvius and Fabius Pictor, and that upon the authoritie of Eutropius, the Greeke records, Cuspinian, Zonaras, Onu∣phrius, and others; wee will set downe for this yeeres Consuls, P. Sempronius and App. Clau∣dius, whome Velleius in his first booke calleth, Sempronius Sophus, and Appius the sonne of Caecus. The Greeke records, Sempronius Rufus Sophus: and Cuspinians booke, Rufus. Moreo∣ver, this also Goltzius giveth us to understand, that the surname of this Sempronius is in old peeces of coin found written without an aspira∣tion [Sopus;] which is no rare thing to be seene in such antiquities: for we read in others of them, Pilippus, Tampilus, Graccus, Pulcer, Tri∣umpius, for Philippus, Tamphilus, Gracchus, Pul∣cher, Triumphus, and such like.
