, and he had the opportunity of placing
himself against Caesar at Dyrrachium.

On his return from the successful close of his Spanish campaign,
Massalia surrendered to Caesar after an obstinate resistance. (Caesar,
_Civil War_, ii. 22.)

It was on his return to Massalia from the south of Spain that Caesar
heard of his appointment as Dictator (_Civil War_, ii. 21).]

[Footnote 531: (Caesar, _Civil War_, iii. 1; Dion Cassius, 41. c. 37.)
Caesar does not speak of those who had suffered in Sulla's time; nor
does Dion.]

[Footnote 532: Caesar and P. Servilius Isauricus (son of the consul
Isauricus, B.C. 79) were elected Consuls for B.C. 48. See the Life of
Pompeius, c. 54, notes; and of Caesar, c. 57, _Dictator_.

When Caesar had left Rome, the boys formed themselves into two parties,
Pompeians and Caesarians, and had a battle without arms, in which the
Caesarians were victorious. (Dion Cassius, 41, c. 39.)

As to Caesar's forces, see _Civil War_, iii. 2.]

[Footnote 533: Dion Cassius (41. c. 45) tells this story of the boat
adventure; and (Appianus, _Civil Wars_, ii. 57) Caesar was uneasy at
the delay of M. Antonius and his legions, and he feared that Antonius
might desert him. Caesar says nothing of this attempt to cross the sea.
He very seldom mentions his personal risks. He left this to the
anecdote collectors.]

[Footnote 534: The river appears to be the Anas of Dion (41. c. 45)
which is near Apollonia, though he does not mention the river in his
account of Caesar's attempted voyage. This is the river which Strabo
calls AEas, and Hekataeus calls Aous (Strabo, p. 316).

For the events in these three chapters see the Life of Pompeius, c.
65, &c., and the references in the notes.]

[Footnote 535: Caesar calls the root Chara (_Civil War_, iii. 48. Comp.
Plinius, _N.H._ 19, c. 8). These facts are mentioned in Caesar. The
events in the neighbourhood of Dyrrachium and Apollonia must be
studied in Caesar, Dion Cassius, Book 41, and Appianus, Book ii.]

[Footnote 536: Caesar mentions the capture of Gomphi (_Civil War_, iii.
80), but he says nothing of the wine. Caesar let his men plunder
Gomphi. The town had offered him all its means and prayed him for a
garrison, but on hearing of his loss at Dyrrachinm the people shut
their gates against him and sent to Pompeius for aid. The town was
stormed on the first day that it was attacked.]

[Footnote 537: As Kaltwasser observes, there was no bad omen in the
dream, as it
