Video mihi posse obici curules magistratus apud maiores nostros quadriennium in re p. non fuisse, sed erant tribuni plebis cum tribunicia potestate, quae pars maxima regalis imperii est. Tamen non est proditum interreges eo tempore non fuisse, quin etiam verioribus historicis referentibus declaratum est consules ab interregibus post creatos, qui haberent reliquorum comitia magistratuum.
c. 4th century CE, Flavius Vopiscus, Augustan History Tacitus.I.5-6
