Translation
[Appius Claudius was] named assessor among Romans, [i.e.] a kind of examiner of the civic institutions, giving attention to the moderate and old-fashioned life of each of the citizens.
Greek original · Adler’s text
Κήνσωρ· τιμητὴς παρὰ Ῥωμαίοις ὀνομαζόμενος, ἐξεταστής τις τῶν πολιτικῶν διαιτημάτων πρὸς τὸ σῶφρον καὶ ἀρχαιότροπον ἑκάστου τῶν πολιτῶν ἐπιστρέφων τὸν βίον.

Notes
- The headword is a transliteration of the Latin word censor; cf. kappa 1522 and esp. kappa 1523.
The material as a whole reappears more fully at tau 615, which makes it clear that Appius Claudius is being described; and cf. under alpha 3199, lambda 520. It is not identified by Adler but is now accepted as John of Antioch fr. 101 Roberto.
