Octavius got 888 32| party, who were no less overjoyed at his arrival and presence, 889 70| mentioning Deiotarus, and not to overrate the having refused aid to 890 76| enemy there were totally overthrown, but, in the center and 891 27| as he thought, if not to overwhelm and crush him, at least 892 40| the enemy in flank, was overwhelmed and borne down by a shower 893 34| At the same time, he sent P. Sextius to C. Plaetorius 894 56| ordering all who had not paid the sums in which they were 895 9| the mighty projects and painful attempts of the Alexandrians 896 52| Racilius, presented him with a paper, in a soldier's habit, as 897 8| their ships, either from Paraetonium on the left, or from the 898 70| with greater pleasure than pardon a suppliant, but that he 899 40| at the same time by both parties, they engage. The conflict 900 24| that the tears he shed at parting seemed to have been tears 901 34| in Pontus; and Quinctius Partisius into Cilicia, to draw thence 902 2| shut up all the avenues and passes by a triple wall built of 903 1| and roofed with tile or pavement. Caesar's principal aim 904 56| insisted upon immediate payment. Such as were taxed too 905 47| restored the province, in a peaceable condition, to Cornificius, 906 36| pass, and the townsmen and peasants to show themselves, that 907 24| the nation to be false and perfidious, seldom speaking as they 908 11| though, had he left her to perish, he judged that she deserved 909 33| the Roman people not to permit any change. For the eldest 910 65| tribunes were producing perpetual seditions, and that, by 911 26| with so much firmness and perseverance, that he carried it the 912 51| auxiliaries; appointing certain persons to provide corn, ships, 913 60| advantageous post, Marcellus persuaded his men to return to their 914 25| made the first attack, and pierced and sunk one of the enemy' 915 36| quitting their ranks to pillage, might be cut to pieces 916 51| opportunity they offered him of pillaging new provinces, and a wealthy 917 19| prevent sudden excursions and piracies. Already he had, by means 918 34| he sent P. Sextius to C. Plaetorius the questor, for the legion 919 13| buildings, and made use of the planks they furnished for oars. 920 1| the battering-rams might play; and the fortifications 921 63| Cassius into his camp, and pledged his honor to act without 922 35| prevent all surprises, and be plentifully supplied with provisions 923 55| Racilius, were concerned in the plot: nor did he long defer his 924 27| yet he thought it a great point gained, to hinder his junction 925 41| effects of the Roman and Pontic citizens, inflicted punishments, 926 13| wanting; they uncovered the porticos, academies, and public buildings, 927 8| the advantageous posts, possess themselves of the tops of 928 60| sword the rich and noble possessions of the inhabitants of Corduba. 929 39| a very narrow front, and posting the rest of the cohorts 930 35| that the matter should be postponed till Caesar's return, unless 931 8| seize all the advantageous posts, possess themselves of the 932 38| Domitius an account of the posture of affairs at Alexandria, 933 65| the kings, princes, and potentates, as well of the provinces 934 58| Pompey, whose name was very powerful among those legions which 935 2| into all parts, where the powers and territories of Egypt 936 15| design, and bestowing many praises upon him, gave the signal 937 23| woman, of living under a precarious government, and submitting 938 32| the habit of suppliants, preceded by all those sacred symbols 939 24| that his company was to him preferable to a kingdom. Caesar, moved 940 16| those who had chosen him in preference to others for the defense 941 63| his honor to act without prejudice. Cassius hesitated long, 942 44| difficulties of a sudden preparation. For having himself but 943 63| adversary's submission had prepossessed Lepidus in his favor. Lepidus 944 52| a client of L. Racilius, presented him with a paper, in a soldier' 945 70| he might then send the presents which successful generals 946 24| sensible of their duty, preserve them from the destruction 947 75| assistance of the gods, who preside over all the events of war, 948 55| as some think; but others pretend that he was forced. L. Mergilio 949 67| who were present, without pretending to judge of the disputes 950 23| quarter, or of their own previous design, intimated to the 951 66| much veneration, that her priest is accounted next in power 952 65| his protection the kings, princes, and potentates, as well 953 1| tile or pavement. Caesar's principal aim was, to inclose with 954 76| was cut to pieces or made prisoners. Pharnaces himself escaped, 955 65| rewards both publicly and privately to such as deserved them, 956 6| think from what cause it proceeded. They were even ready to 957 53| him on the tribunal, and proclaimed him praetor. For there was 958 68| and the decrees he had procured in his favor when consul; 959 49| according to the custom of prodigals, made his liberalities a 960 65| contests of the tribunes were producing perpetual seditions, and 961 9| on our side, the mighty projects and painful attempts of 962 3| that Caesar should not prolong his stay; that if they did 963 70| justice, if he performed his promises: but at the same time he 964 74| works. But Pharnaces, either prompted by the place itself, which 965 37| embassadors to Domitius, with proposals of peace and amity, fancying, 966 16| fled toward the town, and protecting their ships under the mole 967 71| performed but slowly, wanted to protract the day of his departure, 968 38| intelligence, imagined that protracting the time would be equivalent 969 72| of a position which had proved so fortunate to his father. ~ 970 50| had done as quaestor, the provincials formed similar conspiracies 971 17| boats, and five galleys, prudently stationed for that purpose. 972 56| consequence of an edict he had published, ordering all who had not 973 70| had deprived of it, by a punishment more intolerable to the 974 41| Pontic citizens, inflicted punishments, worse than death, upon 975 17| followed by others, who pushed the islanders, without intermission; 976 73| before him; ordered a great quantity of fascines to be brought 977 33| authority of the king and queen, neither of whom stood well 978 29| German cavalry, dispersing in quest of a ford, found means to 979 34| Sextius to C. Plaetorius the questor, for the legion which had 980 73| intrenchments. This being quickly performed, next night, at 981 34| lately levied in Pontus; and Quinctius Partisius into Cilicia, 982 55| delivered Minutius to be racked by his freed-men; likewise 983 46| galley was broken. The battle raged with great fury likewise 984 50| still increased upon his raising a fifth legion, which added 985 40| Domitius, after this defeat, rallied the remains of his broken 986 30| fortified by nature, and the ramparts covered with armed soldiers, 987 40| knights, of illustrious rank, fell in this battle. Domitius, 988 15| greatness of mind deserved to be ranked among our own men rather 989 50| though the ministers of his rapine, yet hated the man by whose 990 56| would put an end to his rapines: insomuch, that he was uncertain 991 42| careful not to undertake any rash expedition, he defended 992 59| Caesar's sake. Meanwhile he ravaged the country, and set fire 993 21| 21 Caesar, endeavoring to re-animate his men, and lead them back 994 9| 9 Having by this speech re-assured his men, he ordered the 995 71| haste to be gone, would readily give credit to whatever 996 28| he had a large fleet in readiness. Caesar declined the navigation 997 24| telling him, if these were his real sentiments, they would soon 998 32| as soon as he arrived, he reaped the just fruit of his valor 999 8| fears by encouraging and reasoning with them. For he affirmed " 1000 13| last they refitted, and recalled the former to Alexandria. 1001 16| defeated, might yet again have recourse to fortune.
