is here reported. We must look to the Life of Pompeius,
c. 68, for the complete dream. Perhaps something has dropped out of
the text here. Dacier, as Kaltwasser says, has inserted the whole
passage out of the Life of Pompeius.]
[Footnote 538: This is an error. The name is Q. Cornificus. See the
note of Sintenis. He was a quaestor of Caesar. Calenus is Fulvus
Calenus, who had been sent by Caesar into Achaia, and had received the
submission of Delphi, Thebae, and Orchomenus, and was then engaged in
taking other cities and trying to gain over other cities. (Caesar,
_Civil War_, iii. 55.)]
[Footnote 539: See the Life of Pompeius, c. 71.]
[Footnote 540: I have omitted the unmeaning words [Greek: e dia theias
hettes tethambemenos] . See the note of Sintenis.]
[Footnote 541: These words of Caesar are also reported by Suetonius
(_Caesar_, 30), on the authority of Pollio. They are: Hoc voluerunt:
tantis rebus gestis C. Caesar condemnatus essem, nisi ab exercitu
auxilium petissem. These words are more emphatic with the omission of
'they brought me into such a critical position,' and Casaubon proposes
to erase them in Plutarch's text, that is, to alter and improve the
text.]
[Footnote 542: A rich town of Lydia in Asia Minor on the north side of
the Maeander. This miracle at Tralles and others are enumerated by
Caesar (_Civil War_, iii. 105; Dion Cassius, 41. c. 61). The book of
Livius, in which this affair of Patavium (Padua) was mentioned (the
111th), is lost. See the Supplement of Freinsheim, c. 72.]
[Footnote 543: See life of Pompeius, c. 42, notes; and Appianus
(_Civil Wars_, ii. 88).]
[Footnote 544: Caesar crossed the Hellespont, where he met with C.
Cassius Longinus going with a fleet to aid Pharnakes in Pontus.
Cassius surrendered and was kindly treated, in consideration of which
he afterwards assisted to murder Caesar. (Appianus, _Civil Wars_, ii.
88.)]
[Footnote 545: Of Knidus. The same who is mentioned by Cicero (_Ad
Attic._ xiii. 7) as a friend of Caesar, and by Strabo, p. 48, &c.
Asia is the Roman province of Asia.]
[Footnote 546: Caesar (_Civil War_, iii. 106) speaks of his arrival on
the coast of Egypt. The Egyptians were offended to see the Roman
fasces carried before him.]
[Footnote 547: Caesar had the head of Pompeius burnt with due honours,
and he built a temple to Nemesis over the ashes. The temple was pulled
down by the Jews in their rising in Egypt during the time of Trajanus.
