[Footnote 521:  This dream according to Suetonius (Caesar, c. 7) and Dion Cassius (41. c. 24) he had at Cades (Cadiz) in Spain during his quaestorship.  The time of the dream is not unimportant, if the interpretation of it was that he was destined to have the dominion of the world.  Caesar has not recorded his dream.  Sulla recorded his dreams.  He was superstitious and cruel.  Caesar was not cruel, and there is no proof that he was superstitious.]

[Footnote 522:  Pompeius went to Capua, where he thought of making a stand, but he soon moved on to Brundisium.  On the confusion in the city see Dion Cassius (41. c. 5-9).]

[Footnote 523:  The author of the Eighth book of the Gallic War (c. 52) speaks of Labienus being solicited by Caesar’s enemies.  Caesar had put him over Gaul south of the Alps.  In the Civil War, Book 1, he is merely mentioned as having fortified Cingulum at his own cost.  Cicero (Ad Attic. vii. 7) says that he was indebted to Caesar for his wealth.  His defection is mentioned by Cicero several times, and it gave a temporary encouragement to the party of Pompeius. (Ad Attic. vi. 12, 13.) Labienus joined Pompeius and the Consuls at Teanum in Campania on the 23rd of January.]

[Footnote 524:  Corfinium three miles from the river Aternus.  Caesar (Civil War, i. 16-23) describes the siege of Corfinium.  L. Domitius Ahenobarbus was treated kindly by Caesar.  He afterwards went to Massalia and defended it against Caesar.  This most excellent citizen, as Cicero calls him, met the death he so well deserved at the battle of Pharsalia, and as Cicero says (Phillipp. ii. 29), at the hand of M. Antonius.]

[Footnote 525:  See the Life of Pompeius, c. 62.]

[Footnote 526:  From this it appears that the Life of Pompeius was written after the Life of Caesar.]

[Footnote 527:  Caesar (Civil War, i, 32) has reported his own speech.]

[Footnote 528:  See the Life of Pompeius, c. 62.]

[Footnote 529:  This was the “sanctius aerarium” (Caesar, Civil War, i. 13), which Lentulus had left open; in such alarm had he left the city.  This money, which was kept in the temple of Saturn, was never touched except in cases of great emergency.  Vossius remarks that to save his own character, Caesar says that he found this treasury open.  But Caesar does not say that he found it open.  He says that Lentulus left it open.  There was time enough for Metellus to lock the door after Lentulus ran away.  Caesar would have been a fool not to take the money; and if he wanted it, he would of course break the door open, if he found it shut.  But whether the door was open or shut was unimportant; the wrongful act, if there was any, consisted in taking the money, and he would not have been excused for taking it simply because the door was unlocked.  I believe Caesar broke it open (Cicero Ad Attic. x. 4; Dion Cassius, 41. c. 17; and the authorities quoted by Reimarus).
