Lex Porcia
Lex Porcia DE PROVINCIALIBUS SUMPTIBUS, apparently due to M. Portius Cato, praetor B.C. 298, and perhaps referred to in Liv. 32.27: it is mentioned in the Plebiscitum de Termessensibus (Lex Antonia), which enacts nei quis magistratus prove magistratu legatus neu quis alius neive imperato quo quid magis iei dent praebeant ab ieisve auferatur nisei quod eos ex lege Portia dare praebere oportet oportebit
(Haubold, Mon. legal. p. 137).
