    • Valerius' praenomen A. in Livy is corrected by reference to the number iterum (see 394) and Livy 5.26.2 and 6.5.7. Verginius may have been Mil. Tr. c. p. in 402. On possible identifications for Cornelius, see 394, note 1. The identification of Manlius is supported by the number tertium after his name in 383 (Liv. 6.21.1) and the cognomen in Chr. 354 on 385. On the name of Aemilius, see Fast. Cap. for 380; on that of Postumius, see 381, Mil. Tr. c. p. On Papirius, see 382, note 1. (Broughton MRR I)

Aemilius held command against the Etruscans and Manlius near the city (Liv. 6.2.8). On Valerius, see Münzer, Gent. Val. 36, no. 6. (Broughton MRR I)
