In the following year, Furius and his colleague were brought to trial by the [[tribune]] Gnaeus Genucius for failing to appoint the [[Decemviri#Decemviri_Agris_Dandis_Adsignandis|decemvirs]] to allocate the public lands. However, on the day of the trial Genucius was found dead, and as a consequence the charges were dismissed.<ref>[[Dionysius of Halicarnassus]], ''Romaike Archaiologia'', ix. 36-38.</ref><ref>Livy, ''[[Ab Urbe condita (book)|Ab Urbe condita]]'', ii.54</ref>
