Varro, and a
      writer on agriculture. He is probably the same as the Cn. Tremellius, who was one of the
      judices at the trial of Verres in <date when-custom="-70">B. C. 70</date>, and had been appointed
      military tribune for the following year (Cic. <hi rend="ital">Verr.</hi> Act. 1.10). Scrofa
      was one of the twenty commissioners for dividing the Campanian land under the agrarian law of
      Julius Caesar, <date when-custom="-59">B. C. 59</date>, and he must afterwards have served under
      Julius Caesar in Gaul, as he is said to have commanded an army near the Rhine. He is
      introduced as one of the speakers in Varro's treatise <hi rend="ital">De Re Rustica,</hi>
      where his knowledge of agriculture is praised in the highest terms. He there speaks of himself
      as <hi rend="ital">practorius,</hi> but in what year he was praetor is unknown (Varr. <hi rend="ital">R. R.</hi> 1.2.10, 1.7.8, 2.4 ; <bibl n="Plin. Nat. 17.21.35.22">Plin. Nat.

      Atticus. (<bibl n="Cic. Att. 5.4.2">Cic. Att. 5.4.2</bibl>, <bibl n="Cic. Att. 6.1.13">6.1.13</bibl>, <bibl n="Cic. Att. 7.1.8">7.1.8</bibl>.)</p></div></div></body></text></TEI>
