^{page 9 note 3} This date is accepted by Professor H. M. Last in C.A.H. ix, p. 175. Professor F. de Zulueta, C.A.H. ix, p. 850, gives the year 100 B.C., but in that year Scaevola was at Rome, a staunch defender of law and order (Cicero, pro Hob. perd. 21 and 26; Phil. 8, 15). Whether he administered Asia as praetor or as propraetor we do not know, for ancient historians allowed themselves great latitude in their descriptions of a provincial governor's titles. Livy, Epit. 70, calls Scaevola proconsul, inscriptions (O.G.I.S. 437) and (O.G.I.S. 439). Diodorus refers to him (37, 5, 1–6) as , and Pseudo-Asconius (p. 202, Stangl) as praetor. The passage which clinched the matter for Mommsen, Cicero, De Oratore 1, 17, 75, will not help us, for it refers not to Scaevola the pontifex, but to his second cousin the augur, who had governed Asia in 120 or 119 B.C.

^{page 9 note 4} This was Rutilius' only known official visit to Asia. The view of Waddington, W. H., Fastes des provinces asiatiques, pp. 32 ff.Google Scholar, based on the statement of Pomponius, in the Digest 1, 2, 40, that Rutilius had previously governed Asia independently as proconsul in 111 or 110 B.C., has, rightly, failed to win any support.

^{page 9 note 5} With the possible exception of C. Julius Caesar, father of the dictator, we know of no governor of Asia but Scaevola in the period 107–90 B.C.
