Headword:
*prai/twr
Adler number: pi,2239
Translated headword: praetor
Vetting Status: high
Translation: "After the tribunes the Romans again returned to the consuls,[1] and first to be designated as general was Frurius[2] Camillus, son of that Camillus who had often held sole power [i.e. been dictator]; in their own language the Romans called him praetor, that is general."

Notes:
The headword is a transliteration of Latin
praetor. On praetors, see also
pi 2238,
pi 2240. On Furius (
sic) Camillus, see
phi 627.
[1] Adler's note on this part of the entry is 'cf. Eutropius fr. 25, fort. Io.
Antioch.', i.e. a suggested attribution to John of
Antioch. Now accepted as John fr.92 Roberto. Eutropius mentions the change from consuls to military tribunes with consular power and the subsequent reversion to consuls (
Breviarium 2.1-3).
[2] Thus as transmitted, wrongly, for Furius. (Adler notes, but does not follow, Portus' emendation to that effect.)
