M'. Acilius Glabrio

tribune of the plebs. The date of his tribuneship is not ascertained. He brought forward and carried the lex Acilia de Repetundis, which prohibited ampliatio and comperendinatio. (Cic. in Verr. Act. Pr. 17, in Verr. 2.1, 9, Pseudo-Ascon. in Act. I. Verr. p. 149, in Act. II. Verr. p. 165, Orelli.) For the Lex Caecilia mentioned by Valerius Maximus (6.9.10), we should probably read Lex Acilia. (Dict. of Antiq. s. v. Repetundae.)
