That a Son whose Birth-day was accompanied with Three Victories should prove Invincible Pezelius in Mellificio Historico Upon the Thirtieth of September Pompey the Great was born Upon that day he he Triumphed for his Asian Conquest and on that day died The Nineteenth of August was the day of Augustus his Adoption On the same day he began his Consulship He conquered the Triumviri and on the same day he died Hitherto out of the Memoirs of K.
