I also believe Caesar when he says that Lentulus left the door unlocked.  The Senate had supplied Pompeius with money for the war out of the ordinary treasury.  When Caesar took Corfinium, he gave to Domitius all the money that he found there, which was to a large amount, though this was public money and had been given to Domitius by Pompeius to pay his soldiers with. (Appianus, ii. 28; Caesar, Civil War, i. 23.) When “that man of greatest purity and integrity,” as Cicero calls him, M. Terentius Varro, commanded for Pompeius in Spain (B.C. 48), he carried off the treasure from the temple of Hercules at Cadiz.  That man, on whom Cicero vents every term of abuse that his fear and hatred could supply, restored the stolen money to the god. (Caesar, Civil War, ii. 18, 21.)]

[Footnote 530:  The Spanish campaign against Afranius is contained in the Civil War, 34, &c.  The legati of Pompeius in Spain were L. Afranius, consul B.C. 60, M. Petreius, and M. Terentius Varro, better known for his learning and his numerous works than for his military talents.  After the surrender of Afranius and Petreius, Caesar marched to the south of Spain, for Varro, who was in Lusitania, was making preparations for war.  Varro, after some feeble efforts, surrendered to the conqueror at Cordova.  Varro was treated kindly like all the rest who fell into Caesar’s hands, and he had the opportunity of placing himself against Caesar at Dyrrachium.

On his return from the successful close of his Spanish campaign, Massalia surrendered to Caesar after an obstinate resistance. (Caesar, Civil War, ii. 22.)

It was on his return to Massalia from the south of Spain that Caesar heard of his appointment as Dictator (Civil War, ii. 21).]

[Footnote 531:  (Caesar, Civil War, iii. 1; Dion Cassius, 41. c. 37.) Caesar does not speak of those who had suffered in Sulla’s time; nor does Dion.]

[Footnote 532:  Caesar and P. Servilius Isauricus (son of the consul Isauricus, B.C. 79) were elected Consuls for B.C. 48.  See the Life of Pompeius, c. 54, notes; and of Caesar, c. 57, Dictator.

When Caesar had left Rome, the boys formed themselves into two parties, Pompeians and Caesarians, and had a battle without arms, in which the Caesarians were victorious. (Dion Cassius, 41, c. 39.)

As to Caesar’s forces, see Civil War, iii. 2.]

[Footnote 533:  Dion Cassius (41. c. 45) tells this story of the boat adventure; and (Appianus, Civil Wars, ii. 57) Caesar was uneasy at the delay of M. Antonius and his legions, and he feared that Antonius might desert him.  Caesar says nothing of this attempt to cross the sea.  He very seldom mentions his personal risks.  He left this to the anecdote collectors.]

[Footnote 534:  The river appears to be the Anas of Dion (41. c. 45) which is near Apollonia, though he does not mention the river in his account of Caesar’s attempted voyage.  This is the river which Strabo calls AEas, and Hekataeus calls Aous (Strabo, p. 316).
