duumvir with C. Iulius (COR 330) of the year 44 or 43 B.C.
Remarks: He is the earliest attested member of the family of Aeficii in the colony's documents.
They were probably connected with the eques praedives M. Aeficius Calvinus,
although the different praenomina could imply that the Corinthian family
belonged to another branch of Aeficii (Grant, FITA, 266-267; E. Rawson, Roman
culture and society. Collected papers [Oxford 1991] 352-358, especially 356-357;
Spawforth, in: Roman onomastics, 175-176). A Corinthian, Μ. Αίφίκιος Πριμι-
γενιανός, is attested in an inscription from the sanctuary of Clarian Apollo of
about A.D. 100, as a member of the delegation of hymnodoi (Th. Macridy, JÖAI
15, 1912, 54-5, no. 27,1. 7; cf. Spawforth, op. cit., 175, no. 38). For the emission
see Amandry, 28-32.
