A Dictionary of Greek and Roman biography and mythology

6. P.CorneliusMaluginensis, P. F. M. N., consular tribune in B. C. 397 (Liv. 5.16; Diod. 14.85), and magister equitum to the dictator M. Furius Camillus in B. C. 396. At least the Fasti Capitolini name Maluginensis as the magister equitum in this year; but Livy (5.19) and Plutarch (Camill. 5) call the magister equitum P. Cornelius Scipio. He was consular tribune a second time in B. C. 390, the year in which Rome was taken by the Gauls. (Liv. 5.36; Diod. 14.110.) In Diodorus and in the common editions of Livy his praenomen is Servius, but in some of the best MSS. of Livy he is called Publius.
