A Dictionary of Greek and Roman biography and mythology

11. P.Titius, tribune of the plebs, B. C. 43, proposed the law for the creation of the triumvirs in that year. Shortly before this he had deprived his colleague P. Servilius Casca of his tribunate, because the latter fled from Rome, fearing the vengeance of Octavianus on account of the part he had taken in the assassination of Caesar. Titius died soon after, during his year of office, thus confirming the superstition, that whoever deprived a colleague of his magistracy, never lived to see the end of his own official year. (Appian, App. BC 4.7 ; D. C. 46.49; Cic. Fam. 10.12.3, 10.21.3.)
