97 III, 10 | Vibullius Rufus, an officer of Pompey's had fallen twice into
98 III, 10 | to send with proposals to Pompey: and he knew that he had
99 III, 10 | he had an influence over Pompey. This was the substance
100 III, 10 | of future calamities, by Pompey, in having been driven out
101 III, 10 | people and senate. To give Pompey the fuller assurance of
102 III, 11 | no less necessary to give Pompey notice of Caesar's sudden
103 III, 11 | dispatch, he posted away to Pompey, to inform him that Caesar

138 III, 41 | before his camp, he offered Pompey battle. But perceiving that

146 III, 43 | of circumvallation round Pompey, with these views; as he

150 III, 44 | another, were afraid that Pompey's men would sally out from
151 III, 44 | to gain any place, though Pompey had resolved not to oppose
152 III, 45 | power. Caesar, to confine Pompey within as narrow a compass
153 III, 45 | narrow a compass as possible; Pompey, to occupy as many hills
154 III, 45 | had begun to fortify it, Pompey possessed himself of a hill
155 III, 45 | fear. It is reported that Pompey said that day in triumph
156 III, 46 | his legions to file off: Pompey's men insultingly and boldly
157 III, 46 | ground up the steep, drove Pompey's men precipitately before
158 III, 48 | loaves made of this, when Pompey's men upbraided ours with

165 III, 54 | 3.54]Pompey, having made great additions
166 III, 55 | commanded in Achaia, under Pompey, began to fortify the Isthmus,
167 III, 56 | level ground, and offered Pompey battle, and led his legions
168 III, 56 | legions almost close to Pompey's camp; and his front line
169 III, 56 | engines could reach it. But Pompey, to save his credit and
170 III, 57 | introduction and recommendation of Pompey, had admitted into the number
171 III, 57 | letters and instructions to Pompey, the substance of which
172 III, 57 | to carry his proposals to Pompey at an improper time. That
173 III, 57 | advice, and govern him [Pompey] if he persisted in error;
174 III, 57 | commanded an army independent of Pompey, so that besides his authority,
175 III, 58 | might the more easily keep Pompey's horse inclosed within
176 III, 58 | and erected forts at them. Pompey perceiving that he derived
177 III, 58 | horses being almost starved, Pompey thought he ought to make

182 III, 61 | desertions almost every day from Pompey to Caesar: but more commonly
183 III, 61 | exact account of all to Pompey. ~
184 III, 62 | receiving this intelligence, Pompey, who had already formed
185 III, 63 | circumstance was known to Pompey, being told to him by the
186 III, 63 | on guard by the sea-side, Pompey's army arrived suddenly
187 III, 63 | works was observed, and Pompey's soldiers, landing between
188 III, 65 | sustained, and perceiving that Pompey had forced our works, and
189 III, 65 | encampment to be made near Pompey. ~
190 III, 66 | legion had opposed a party of Pompey's troops, and were endeavoring
191 III, 66 | place; and after a few days, Pompey took possession of it, and
192 III, 67 | half a mile distant from Pompey's new camp. Caesar, hoping
193 III, 67 | marched in two lines against Pompey's legion and his lesser
194 III, 67 | reached the place before Pompey could have notice of it;
195 III, 69 | 3.69]In the mean time Pompey, by the great delay which
196 III, 69 | was suddenly changed. For Pompey's legion, encouraged by
197 III, 69 | perceiving from the rampart that Pompey was advancing, and their
198 III, 70 | our whole army, viz., that Pompey suspecting an ambuscade (
199 III, 70 | victory, after he had forged Pompey's camp. The same thing,
200 III, 71 | flight of their own men. Pompey, after this battle, was
201 III, 71 | a show of them, and that Pompey might place a greater confidence
202 III, 72 | 3.72]Pompey's party were so elated with
203 III, 75 | sight of the camp. Nor did Pompey, as soon as he had notice
204 III, 76 | through the Decuman gate. Pompey, in like manner, having
205 III, 76 | advanced eight miles beyond Pompey's camp; who could not pursue
206 III, 77 | roads without any loss. For Pompey, after the first day's delay,
207 III, 78 | he should be surprised by Pompey's arrival, he hastened with
208 III, 78 | these principles: that if Pompey should march after him,
209 III, 78 | through Epirus and Acarnania. Pompey, also, guessing at Caesar'
210 III, 79 | aside from the direct road. Pompey had taken the short road
211 III, 79 | herself seemed to throw him in Pompey's way. Of this, Caesar was
212 III, 79 | Letters likewise being sent by Pompey through all the provinces
213 III, 79 | and who had deserted to Pompey, having met on the road
214 III, 79 | Caesar's departure, and Pompey's arrival. Domitius, who
215 III, 80 | preferred to be the companion of Pompey's victory, rather than Caesar'
216 III, 80 | messengers to Scipio and Pompey "to come to his relief,
217 III, 80 | his legions to Larissa: Pompey was not yet arrived near
218 III, 81 | determined there to wait Pompey's arrival, and to make it
219 III, 82 | 3.82]Pompey arrived in Thessaly a few
220 III, 82 | erected for him. The forces of Pompey being thus augmented, and
221 III, 82 | into Italy; and whenever Pompey acted with slowness and
222 III, 82 | Hirtius, who had been sent by Pompey against the Parthians, should
223 III, 82 | election; his friends imploring Pompey's honor to fulfill the engagements
224 III, 83 | presuming on his alliance with Pompey. Attius Rufus charged Lucius
225 III, 83 | charged Lucius Afranius before Pompey with betraying the army
226 III, 83 | or who had been within Pompey's garrisons and had not
227 III, 83 | pecuniary fine. In short, Pompey's whole army talked of nothing
228 III, 84 | he ought to try whether Pompey had any intention or inclination
229 III, 84 | at a small distance from Pompey's camp: but afterward for
230 III, 84 | up to the hills on which Pompey's troops were posted, which
231 III, 84 | against seven thousand of Pompey's, if occasion required,
232 III, 84 | Allobrogians, who had deserted to Pompey, as we before observed,

235 III, 85 | constant marches harass Pompey's army, which was not accustomed
236 III, 85 | contrary to his daily practice, Pompey's army had advanced further
237 III, 86 | 3.86]Pompey also, as was afterward known,
238 III, 87 | Caesar's forces, as to extol Pompey's scheme with the highest
239 III, 87 | highest encomiums. "Think not, Pompey," says he, "that this is
240 III, 87 | the rest to do the like. Pompey applauded his proposal,
241 III, 88 | Caesar had approached near Pompey's camp, he observed that
242 III, 88 | the other the third. Here Pompey commanded in person. Scipio
243 III, 88 | on the right wing. These Pompey considered his steadiest

246 III, 92 | the hostile armies: but Pompey had ordered his soldiers
247 III, 92 | their line broken, and that Pompey's troops remaining in their
248 III, 92 | by the fatigue. But to me Pompey seems to have acted without
249 III, 93 | launched, but perceiving that Pompey's men did not run to meet
250 III, 93 | had ordered them. Nor did Pompey's men fail in this crisis,
251 III, 93 | swords. At the same time Pompey's horse, according to their
252 III, 93 | ground a little, upon which Pompey's horse pressed them more
253 III, 93 | rushed forward and charged Pompey's horse with such fury,
254 III, 93 | success, wheeled about upon Pompey's left wing, while his infantry

256 III, 94 | by them the left wing of Pompey's army was surrounded, and
257 III, 94 | first to flee. But when Pompey saw his cavalry routed,
258 III, 96 | 3.96]In Pompey's camp you might see arbors
259 III, 96 | want of common necessaries. Pompey, as soon as our men had
260 III, 97 | having possessed himself of Pompey's camp, urged his soldiers
261 III, 97 | his legions to remain in Pompey's camp, sent back a part
262 III, 99 | deserving of his approbation. Of Pompey's army, there fell about
