Reading notes
- Ad Familiares 13.58 §1 is my fellow tribesman, my fellow townsman, and a close friend
Tribulis (member of the same voting tribe) and municeps (citizen of the same home town) name two civic bonds Romans counted as grounds for loyalty and recommendation. Cicero stacks them to mark Custidius as a man of his own community at Arpinum.
