Liv. 2.21.4Tantī errōrēs inplicant temporum ratiōnem aliter apud aliōs ōrdinātīs magistrātibus, ut nec quī cōnsulēs secundum quōs, nec quid quōque annō āctum sit, in tantā vetustāte nōn rērum modo sed etiam auctōrum dīgerere possīs.Such great errors confuse the chronology, since the magistrates are listed in a different order by different writers, that you cannot settle which consuls came after which, or what was done in each year, at so great a distance in time not only from the events but also from the authorities.
