Tiberius already bore the name of Caesar from adoption [A.D. 4], and is described in monuments as Tiberius Caesar Aug. f. [Wilmanns 886, 887, 880 b], whereas before his adoption he is Ti. Claudius Ti. f. Nero [Wilmanns 882]. He did not adopt the name 'Augustus' until so called by the Senate [Dio 57, 2-3]. The inscription over him in the Mausoleum gives him his full titles: OSSA.

The will made no difference to him in this respect, and Tacitus only refers to Livia, [Ann. 1, 8] Liviam in familiam Iuliam nomenque Augustum adsumebat. Henceforth she is Iulia Augusta, whereas before she was Livia Drusi f. uxor Caesaris (compare Wilmanns 880 b and 906). Drusum. Drusus the son of Tiberius died in A.D. 23. The three sons of Germanicus were Nero, Drusus and Gaius (Caligula). tribubus. For the two tribes with which Augustus had been connected, cp. c. 40, p. 89. See also Kubitschek de trib. Roman. origine, p. 118. Tacitus [Ann. 1, 8] seems to mean these tribules by the term plebs: populo et plebi quadringentiens triciens quinquiens. praetorianis. See pp. 52, 106. hortibus urbanis, p. 105. CO confiscatam, 'kept under the head of his private property.' See c. 15, 176 SUETONI DIVUS AUGUSTUS [101. sepulcro suo inferri.

Dio [56, 33] adds a fourth, containing certain maxims and principles of state which Augustus thought it important to be observed, Tò τέταρτον ἐντολὰς καὶ ἐπισκήψεις τῷ Τιβερίῳ καὶ τῷ κοινῷ, ἄλλας τε καὶ ὅπως μήτ' ἀπελευθερῶσι πολλούς, ἵνα μὴ παντοδαποῦ ὄχλου τὴν πόλιν πληρώσωσι· μητ ̓ αὖ συχνοὺς ἐγγράφωσιν ἵνα πολὺ τὸ διάφορον αὐτοῖς πρὸς τοὺς ὑπηκόους ᾖ. τά τε κοινὰ πᾶσι τοῖς δυναμένοις καὶ εἰδέναι καὶ πράττειν ἐπιτρέπειν καὶ ἐς μηδένα ἀναρτῶν αὐτὰ παρῄνεσέ σφισιν, ὅπως μήτε τυραννίδος τις ἐπιθυμήσῃ μήτ' αὖ πταίσαντος ἐκείνου τὸ δημόσιον σφαλῇ· γνώμην τε αὐτοῖς ἔδωκε τοῖς τε παροῦσιν ἀρεσθῆναι καὶ μηδαμῶς ἐπὶ πλεῖον τὴν ἀρχὴν ἐπαυξῆσαι ἐθέλησαι· δυσφύλακτόν τε γὰρ αὐτὴν ἔσεσθαι καὶ κινδυνεύσειν ἐκ τούτου καὶ τὰ ὄντα ἀπολέσαι ἔφη. index rerum, that which, with its official Greek translation, has been preserved for us in the temple at Ancyra, and to a small extent at Apollonia. See Appendix A. breviarium. Tacitus [Ann. I, II] seems not to distinguish clearly between the two rolls any more than Suetonius: opes publicae continebantur, quantum civium sociorumque in armis, quot classes, regna, provinciae, tributa aut vectigalia et necessitates ac largitiones, quae cuncta sua manu prescripserat Augustus, addideratque consilium coercendi intra terminos imperii, incertum metu an per invidiam. Seneca Ep. 69 objects to the word breviarium, saying that the true Latin word is summarium. For breviarium for an abstract of accounts see Galb. 12. vectigaliorum residuis, 'arrears of taxes,' 'balances still in the hands of the receivers,' as is shown by the definition in the Dig. 48, 13, 2 (L. and Sh.) lege Iulia de residuis tenetur qui publicam pecuniam delegatam in usum aliquem retinuit neque in eum consumpsit. For the form vectigaliorum cf. c. 53 sponsaliorum. See Macrob. Sat. 1, 4 § 12 Asinius Pollio vectigaliorum frequenter usurpet, quod vectigal non minus dicatur quam vectigalia, by which Macrobius seems to mean that vectigal (a shortened form for vectigale) follows the rule of such adjectives used substantivally, many of which have the gen. plur. in -orum, e.g. baccanalia, compitalia etc. Roby L. G. § 425. APPENDIX A. I. MONUMENTUM ANCYRANUM. Of the three volumina left by Augustus the second was an index rerum a se gestarum (c. 101; Dio 56, 33) which he wished to be engraved on bronze tablets to be affixed to the front of the Mausoleum. This was no doubt done, but these tablets have long disappeared. Fortunately a copy was also it seems commonly engraved on temples of Augustus and Rome' in the provinces with a Greek version as the Kown diaλEKTOS. Of these copies one remains fairly complete on the walls of a temple at Ancyra in Galatia [Angora], and some fragments at Apollonia in Pisidia. The first partial copy of the Latin version was made by a Dutchman, Augerius Busbequius, when on a mission to Soliman in 1555, and was printed by Andrew Schott in an edition of Aurelius Victor (1577). This however was a mere fragment of the whole; and since that time various attempts have been made to obtain a complete copy, as by Daniel Cosson, Dutch Vice-consul at Smyrna (in the 17th century), and the Frenchman Paul Lucas by the order of Louis XIV. At length in 1861 Napoleon III. obtained a complete transcript by the exertions of G. Perrot and E. Guillaume. Finally, in 1882, C. Humann obtained a plaster cast of the whole, both Greek and Latin, in a series of plates which were safely deposited in the Museum at Berlin. This is the foundation of the text as restored and revised by Mommsen in 1883.
