For the events in these three chapters see the Life of Pompeius, c. 65, &c., and the references in the notes.]

[Footnote 535:  Caesar calls the root Chara (Civil War, iii. 48.  Comp.  Plinius, N.H. 19, c. 8).  These facts are mentioned in Caesar.  The events in the neighbourhood of Dyrrachium and Apollonia must be studied in Caesar, Dion Cassius, Book 41, and Appianus, Book ii.]

[Footnote 536:  Caesar mentions the capture of Gomphi (Civil War, iii. 80), but he says nothing of the wine.  Caesar let his men plunder Gomphi.  The town had offered him all its means and prayed him for a garrison, but on hearing of his loss at Dyrrachinm the people shut their gates against him and sent to Pompeius for aid.  The town was stormed on the first day that it was attacked.]

[Footnote 537:  As Kaltwasser observes, there was no bad omen in the dream, as it is here reported.  We must look to the Life of Pompeius, c. 68, for the complete dream.  Perhaps something has dropped out of the text here.  Dacier, as Kaltwasser says, has inserted the whole passage out of the Life of Pompeius.]

[Footnote 538:  This is an error.  The name is Q. Cornificus.  See the note of Sintenis.  He was a quaestor of Caesar.  Calenus is Fulvus Calenus, who had been sent by Caesar into Achaia, and had received the submission of Delphi, Thebae, and Orchomenus, and was then engaged in taking other cities and trying to gain over other cities. (Caesar, Civil War, iii. 55.)]

[Footnote 539:  See the Life of Pompeius, c. 71.]

[Footnote 540:  I have omitted the unmeaning words [Greek:  e dia theias hettes tethambemenos] .  See the note of Sintenis.]

[Footnote 541:  These words of Caesar are also reported by Suetonius (Caesar, 30), on the authority of Pollio.  They are:  Hoc voluerunt:  tantis rebus gestis C. Caesar condemnatus essem, nisi ab exercitu auxilium petissem.  These words are more emphatic with the omission of ‘they brought me into such a critical position,’ and Casaubon proposes to erase them in Plutarch’s text, that is, to alter and improve the text.]

[Footnote 542:  A rich town of Lydia in Asia Minor on the north side of the Maeander.  This miracle at Tralles and others are enumerated by Caesar (Civil War, iii. 105; Dion Cassius, 41. c. 61).  The book of Livius, in which this affair of Patavium (Padua) was mentioned (the 111th), is lost.  See the Supplement of Freinsheim, c. 72.]

[Footnote 543:  See life of Pompeius, c. 42, notes; and Appianus (Civil Wars, ii. 88).]

[Footnote 544:  Caesar crossed the Hellespont, where he met with C. Cassius Longinus going with a fleet to aid Pharnakes in Pontus.  Cassius surrendered and was kindly treated, in consideration of which he afterwards assisted to murder Caesar. (Appianus, Civil Wars, ii. 88.)]

[Footnote 545:  Of Knidus.  The same who is mentioned by Cicero (Ad Attic. xiii. 7) as a friend of Caesar, and by Strabo, p. 48, &c.
