CAssiodorus and Zonaras bring in for Coss. Cn. Cornelius and C. Duilius. In like man∣ner also Polybius, but only that in lieu of 〈 in non-Latin alphabet 〉〈 in non-Latin alphabet 〉 hee hath 〈 in non-Latin alphabet 〉〈 in non-Latin alphabet 〉. The Sicilian registers shew Scipio and Duilius. Cn. Cornelius Scipio is surnamed also Asina, by the capitall writers, O∣rosius, Eutropius, and Valerius in his sixt book chap. 10: of which surname Macrobius writeth thus in his first booke of Saturnalia: The sur∣name of Asina (qd. hee) was given to the Cor∣nelij, for that the first of the House Cornelia ha∣ving either bought land, or given his daughter in marriage, when (after the solemne manner) hee was required to put in good sureties for se∣curitie, brought into the open market place a shee asse laden with money, and pawned down that presently in stead of pledges.
