Sextus Pompeius Festus

Plebeias tabernas no>vas vocant nos- ...........................as esse, et septem ferunamus a genere magistratus. Eas enim faciendas curaverunt M. Iunius Brutus, Q. Oppius aediles plebis.

They call the Plebeian shops new.................and they are said to have been seven once. We call them 'Plebeian' from the type of magistrate. For M. Iunius Brutus and Q. Oppius, the plebeian aediles, had taken care of building them.
