[Footnote 341:  See the Life of Caesar, c. 32.]

[Footnote 342:  L. Volcatius Tullus who had been consul B.C. 66 (’Consule Tullo’), Horatius (Od. iii. 8).]

[Footnote 343:  The reply of Pompeius is given by Appianus (Civil Wars, ii. 37).  As to the confusion in Rome see Dion Cassius (42. c. 6-9); and the references in Clinton, Fasti, B.C. 49.]

[Footnote 344:  Plutarch here omits the capture of Corfinium, which took place before Caesar entered Rome.  See Dion Cassius (41. c. 10), and the Life of Caesar, c. 34.]

[Footnote 345:  L. Metullus, of whom little is known.  Kaltwasser makes Caesar say to Metellus, “It was not harder for him to say it than to do it;” which has no sense in it.  What Caesar did say appears from the Life of Caesar, c. 35.  Caesar did not mean to say that it was as easy for him to do it as to say it.  He meant that it was hard for him to be reduced to say such a thing; as to doing it, when he had said it, that would be a light matter.  Sintenis suspects that the text is not quite right here.  See the various readings and his proposed alteration; also Cicero, Ad Attic. x. 4.]

[Footnote 346:  Caesar (Civil War, i. 25, &c.) describes the operations at Brundisium and the escape ot Pompeius.  Compare also Dion Cassius (41. c. 12); Appianus (Civil Wars, ii. 39).  The usual passage from Italy to Greece was from Brundisium to Dyrrachium (Durazzo), which in former times was called Epidamnus (Thucydides, i. 24; Appianus, Civil Wars, ii. 39).]

[Footnote 347:  This does not appear in Caesar’s Civil War.]

[Footnote 348:  This opinion of Cicero is contained in a letter to Atticus (vii. 11).  When Xerxes invaded Attica (B.C. 480), Themistokles advised the Athenians to quit their city and trust to their ships.  The naval victory of Salamis justified his advice.  In the Peloponnesian War (B.C. 431) Perikles advised the Athenians to keep within their walls and wait for the Caesar invaders to retire from Attica for want of supplies; in which also the result justified the advice of Perikles.  Cicero in his letters often complains of the want of resolution which Pompeius displayed at this crisis.]

[Footnote 349:  Plutarch means that Caesar feared that Pompeius had everything to gain if the war was prolonged.

In his Civil War (i. 24) Numerius is called Cneius Magius, ’Praefectus fabrorum,’ or head of the engineer department.  Sintenis observes that Oudendorp might have used this passage for the purpose of restoring the true praenomen in Caesar’s text, ‘Numerius’ in place of ‘Cneius.’]

[Footnote 350:  These vessels took their name from the Liburni, on the coast of Illyricum.  They were generally biremes, and well adapted for sea manoeuvres.]

[Footnote 351:  A town in Macedonia west of the Thermaic Gulf or Bay of Saloniki.  It appears from this that Pompeius led his troops from the coast of the Adriatic nearly to the opposite coast of Macedonia (Dion Cassius, 41. c. 43).  His object apparently was to form a junction with the forces that Scipio and his son were sent to raise in the East (c. 62).]
