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. (Appian
