(The following list is based on Jonathan R. W. Prag, "Roman Magistrates in Sicily, 227-49 BC.", in La Sicile de Cicéron: lecture des Verrines. Actes du colloque de Paris (19-20 mai 2006) (Besançon: Institut des Sciences et Techniques de l'Antiquité, 2007), pp. 287–310.)
(Note: Prag omits the names of any magistrate in Sicily between the creation of the province in 241 BC and 227 BC because "no evidence exists."[1])
