In some annals I find Marcus Popilius mentioned as consul instead of Titus Quinctius. Two wars were conducted with success on that year: and they forced the Tiburtians by force of arms to a surrender.

Santra is of opinion that if Terence required any assistance in his compositions , he would not have had recourse to Scipio and Laelius, who were then very young men, but rather to Sulpicius Gallus , an accomplished scholar, who had been the first to introduce his plays at the games given by the consuls; or to Q. Fabius Labeo, or Marcus Popilius , both men of consular rank, as well as poets.
