[Footnote 189: Till the publication of the Julius Paulus of
Schulting, (l. ii. tit. xxvi. p. 317 - 323,) it was affirmed
and believed that the Julian laws punished adultery with
death; and the mistake arose from the fraud or error of
Tribonian. Yet Lipsius had suspected the truth from the
narratives of Tacitus, (Annal. ii. 50, iii. 24, iv. 42,) and
even from the practice of Augustus, who distinguished the
treasonable frailties of his female kindred.]
