23
The
Alexandrians
,
perceiving
that
success
confirmed
the
Romans
, and that
adverse
fortune
only
animated
them the more, as they
knew
of no
medium
between these on which to
ground
any further
hopes
,
resolved
, as
far
as we can
conjecture
, either by the
advice
of the
friends
of their
king
who were in
Caesar
's
quarter
, or of their own
previous
design
,
intimated
to the
king
by
secret
emissaries
, to
send
embassadors
to
Caesar
to
request
him, "To
dismiss
their
king
and
suffer
him to
rejoin
his
subjects
; that the
people
,
weary
of
subjection
to a
woman
, of
living
under a
precarious
government
, and
submitting
to the
cruel
laws
of the
tyrant
Ganymed
, were
ready
to
execute
the
orders
of the
king
: and if by his
sanction
they should
embrace
the
alliance
and
protection
of
Caesar
, the
multitude
would not be
deterred
from
surrendering
by the
fear
of
danger
."
