and thys he wylled Heraclides to speake â—pentyâ— â—ut priuatelye to offer Publius Scipio promise of much money from Antiochus and also the libertye of hys sonne For Antiochus had taken him in Grecia sayling from Calcide to Diametriade And this son of Scipios was he that tooke and destroyed Carthage the seconde time and the seconde man that was named Affricanus sonne of Paulus that ouercame Perseus of Macedonia beyng Scipio his sisters sonne by degrée and hys sonne by adoption The Scipions openly made thys aunswere to Heraclide That if Antiochus will haue peace he muste not only leaue the Citties of Ionia and Aeolia but all the Countrey aboute Taurus and defraye the whole charges of the warre of the whiche he hath bin the cause Yet priuatelye Publius saide thus to him If Antiochus had offered these conditions of peace when hée hadde Lysimachia and Cherronesus the Romanes woulde willinglye haue accepted it and peraduenture if he hadde forbidde onely to passe Hellespont But nowe that they were vppon the lande and in safe place and hadde not onely the bridle as they say but also were mounted the horse with the bridle they woulde not accept suche conditions by wordes And that he did giue the Kyng thankes for hys great offer and woulde gyue hym greater if he sent him his sonne And for the present time would wysh him to take the conditions béefore he were driuen to the proofe of greater burden When that Publius hadde saide thus he went to Elaea for his healthe leauing Cneus Domitius legate to his brother Antiochus as Phillippe of Macedonie thinking no more coulde be taken from hym by this war than was propounded gathered his armye in the plaine uf Thyatira not farre from hys enimies and sente Scipio his sonne to Elaea and bée counselled the bringers that the Kyng shoulde not fighte tyll hee came againe to the Campe. Antiochus giuing credite to hym encamped at the hill Sipylâ— and defenced hys Campe wyth a strong wall and put the floud Phrygâ—â— betwéene him and his enimies Domitius being desirous to trie the fight by himselfe passed the floud very boldly and going within two myle and an halfe of Antiochus encamped there foure dayes togither Either of them set their men in order before their Camps neyther of theÌ„ beginning the fight The fifth day Domitius set in order againe and came forth very proudely and when Antiochus came not against him he remoued his Camp nigher to him One day béeing past he proclaymed in the hearing of the enimies that hée would the next day fight whether Antiochus woulde or no. Hée being troubled again changed his purpose and where he might haue kept within his Camp or manfully resist these till Publius had come he thought it a shame to refuse the fighte being more in number wherefore he toke order for the battell and both of them came forth at the last watch being yet nighte and eyther of them thus arayed themselues Tenne thousand of the Romane footemen helde the left wing at the very floud and with them were other tenne thousande Italians in thrée seuerall bands With the Italians the army of Eumenes was placed and the target men of Achaia about thrée thousand This was the left battell The right was the horsemen of the Romanes Italians and Eumenes and they no more but thrée thousand There was mixed with them all the light armed and the archers And about Domitius was foure bandes of horsemen All these made thirtie thousand Domitius ledde the right battell In the middle he placed the Consull The left battell he committed to Eumenes â–ª The Elephants that he had out of Libya he thoughte to be to no purpose for they be lesse that be at Libya and afrayde of the greater and they were but few and therefore sette them last of all This was the Romanes order Antiochus armye was lâ—x M. of the whiche the surest was the Macedonians battaile called Phalanx conteining .xvj.

There was out of Sybils bookes an olde saying that the Parthians shoulde not be ouercome till a Kyng went against them wherefore some there were so bold to saye that as it was expedient for the Romaines to call him Dictator or Imperator or anye other name in stead of a King so that all nations subiect to the Romaine Empire should call hym king Hée refused this also and made hast to his iourney bycause he sawe he was enuyed in the Citie but whereas be tarried till the appoynted time his enimies killed him foure dayes before in â—â—â— Senate house eyther for enuie which commonly accompanyeth such felicitie auctoritie or as they said for the loue of their couÌ„treys libertie For now they knew well that thoughe hée did not ouercome those nations without doubte he woulde be a king And for this cause I thinke they tooke the enterprise agaynste him vnder the pretence of that name for thoughe hée was but Dictator in degrée it was as much as a Kyng in déede There were two chiefe in that conspiracy Marcus Brutus Cepio sonne to Brutus that was killed of Sylla whiche fled to Caesar after the calamitie of Pharsalo field and Caius Cassius that delyuered hys galleis into Caesars hand at Hellespont These two were afore of Pompeys part and now much honoured of Caesar Decimus Brutus Albinus alwayes thoughte worthy of Caesar to be vsed in honor and credite and had great affaires committed to them and in the wars in Lybia trusted them wyth armies and made them Gouernours of Prouinces Decimus of France beyond the Alpes Brutus of the same on thys side the Alpes Brutus and Cassius béeyng Pretors contended for the superioritie of the place eyther indéede who shoulde be higher or else for a pretence that they shoulde séeme to be no friendes Caesar setting order betwixte them said to hys friendes Cassius desireth right but Brutus muste be pleased With so great loue and honour did Caesar vse hym that of some he was compted hys son bicause he loued very wel Seruilia Catos sister and Brutus mother Therfore when he got the victory at Pharsalo hée gaue greate charge to hys Captayns that in any wise they should saue Brutus But Brutus either as an ingrate man or ignorant of his mothers faulte or distrustfull or ashamed or very desirous of his couÌ„trys libertie preferring it before all other things or that he was descended of the auntient Brutus that droue out the Kings or that he was incensed and rebuked of the people for manye things were written vppon the Images of olde Brutus and in the Courte hall of this Brutus secretly set vp Brutus thou takest rewardes Brutus thou arte dead O Brutus I woulde thou were aliue nowe Brutus what vnworthy posterity hast thou Brutus thou arte not come of hym These and many other lyke did inflame the yong mans mind to take the worke in hande as from his progenitor The same of making him King did still encrease and that there woulde be a Counsell for it a little before the which Cassius tooke Brutus by the hand and sayd Brutus what shall we do in that counsell shall we as Casars slatterers agrée to make hym Kyng Brutus answered I would not be at that Counsell Cassius being cheared with those wordes said what if they call vs as Officers what shall we do good Brutus I wyll quoth he defend my Countrey euen to the death Then Cassius embraced hym saying Whom wilâ—e thou take of the best being of this opinion doest thou thinke that artificers and light people do set those writings vpon thy JudgemeÌ„t place rather thaÌ„ the best Citizens of Rome which of other Pretors do looke for shews and pastunes of horse and wilde beasts but of thée they require liberty as a worke worthy thine auncestors After they had thus firste opened what they had long kept in their minds before they then dealte plamely and eche of them proued his own friends and some of Caesars whome they knewe to be méete for a bolde enterprise and they got of their friendes two brethren Cecilius and Bucâ—lâ—â—â—us theÌ„ Râ—brius Riga Q.

Gentlemen not ignorant of fighting but long practised of thâ—selues not of straunge or barbarous nation but of all one language and one arte of war of one strength and exercise hard to be matched therefore among themselues none euer vsed more boldenesse or fiercenesse in fight a token of that the number of deade men being equall in bothe fights and no fewer of theirs that did ouercome Caesars

which loue brought them to destruction and Aegipt to vtter ruine Wherof Egipt also shal be a part of this volume but not so great as it can giue it the title bicause many of the ciuill battailes are intermedled with it For after Cassius and Brutus there were lyke Ciuill Dissentions but wythoute a Generall that commaunded all as they did but some leading armies here and some there till Sextus Pompey the seconde son of Pompey the Greate being lefte of that faction was sette vp of Brutus friends Lepidus being nowe putte from his dignitie al the authoritie rested in Antony and Octauian the whiche things fell out after this sorte Cassius surnamed of Parma when Brutus and Cassius wente to battaile was lefte of them in Asia with an army and a nauy to gather mony When Cassius was deade he hauing no such hope in Brutus tooke thirtie of the Rhodian ships which he thought to be sufficient and burned the rest the holy ones only excepted that they should not rebel and with these and his own shippes he departed Clodius being sent thither of Brutus with thirtene shippes and fynding the Rhodians reuolted for now Brutus was also deade tooke away the garrison of thrée thousande souldiors and sayled to this Cassius â—orulus did ioyne with them hauing many other shippes and mony which he had gathered at Rhodes before they reuolted To this nauy as to a thing of power resorted all they that had offices in Asia and made legions and souldiours for the sea as wel as they could of seruants and people of the couÌ„tries Ilands There came to them Cicero that was son to Tullius Cicero and diuerse noble Citizens that were sled from Thaso and by and by there was a great army with a sufficieÌ„t nauy of good Captaines taking with them Lepidus also with an other band whiche he kept for Brutus at Creta And with these forces they sailed to Murcus and Oenobarbus into the gulfe of Ionia where diuiding themselues part went into Sicelie to Sextus Pompey and part remained with Oenobarbus for priuate faction and thus of the remnants of Brutus and Cassius a newe armye was made Octauian and Antonie sacrificed for the victorie at Philippi and gaue thankes to their souldiors And to

they did and drewe to the side of Antonyes Shippe where they saluted and embraced one another and the armye of Aenobarbus receyued Antony for theyr Generall yet was Plancus scarsly assured And Antonie tooke Aenobarbus into his owne ship and sayled to Poloenta where Aenobarbus had his footemen And there Aenobarbus gaue place to Antonie in the Generals tent From thence they sayled to Brunduse where was fiue bandes of Casars in garrison The Brundusians shut the gates to Aenobarbus as an auncient enimie and to Antonie as one that brought an enâ—nie Antonie tooke this pretence to be done by Caesars commaundement and therefore fortified the narrow parte of earth that ioyned to the Citie with ditche and trenche For this citie is almoste an Iland in a porte lyke a crescent whiche by lande could not be come vnto when this cliffe was cutte from it and the place fortified Antonie also did beset the hauen which is very great and all the Ilandes in it with many Castels that hée made He sent also into sundry coastes of Italy to take the fitte places and exhorted Pompey also that hée should inuade Italie as much as he coulde He gladly sent Menodorus with a great army .iiij. legions to gette Corsica which was Caesars where he tooke two legions beyng amased at this attonement with Antonie Antonies Captaynes tooke Sigunto a citie in Ausonia Pompey befleged Thurij and Cossentia placed his horsemen in their fieldes Caesar troubled in so many places at once sent Agrippa to releue Ausoniae He commaunded the Souldiours that were placed to serue but they vnderstandyng that it was done by Antonies coÌ„sent denied whiche troubled Caesar moste of all Yet he wente to Brunduse with an other army and by fayre wordes made the soldiours to go with him the whiche practised by secrete meanes to reconcile Caesar and Antonie And if Antonie woulde not they woulde sticke to Caesar who was now sicke at Canusio and had a greater armie than Antonie When he was come to Brunduse sawe how Antonie had cut off the lande from the Towne hée lay and wayted his aduersaries dayngs Antonie was stronger in munitions by the meane whereof he sente for his armie out of Macedonie and vsed this policie to put country men by nighte into his shippes bothe Galleys and other and to make a shewe of a great army to come from Macedonia and so began to beate Brunduse whereof Caesar was sory for he coulde not helpe it At that euening it was tolde that Agrippa had recouered Siguntum and that Pompey was repulsed from Thurio and that Cossence was still beséeged whereat Antony was sory And hearing that Seruilius was comming to Caesar with one thousande and two huÌ„dreth horse he could not stay but straight froÌ„ supper with greate rage tooke his fréendes and .iiij. C. horse and valiantly gaue the onset vpon a M. and v. C. and tooke them sléepyng at Vria and brought to Brunduse So great a fame was still of him for the victory hée gotte at Philippi The garde of his person would come to Caesars campe and vpbrayde them their vnkindnesse to hym that saued them at Philippi Who answeared that they did but defende themselues Then they obiected one agaynst an other The one that they were excluded from Brundusio and that the armie of Calenus was taken from them The other that Brunduse was besieged and that the coast was inuaded and aliance made with Aenobarbus a killer of Caesar and with Pompey a chief enimie At length Caesars men opened their minde to Antonies that they felowed Caesar not forgettyng Antonie beyng desirous that they might be reconciled But it Antonie would not relent they woulde do their vttermost And this talke had they in Antonies campe Whyles this was a doyng newes came that Antonies wyfe was dead who coulde not beare hys vnkyndnesse leauyng hir sicke not bidding hyr farewell Hir death was thought very coÌ„modious for them both For Fuluis was an vnquiet woman for ielousie of Cleopatra raysed suche a mortall warre Yet the matter vexed Antony bicause he was â—uÌ„pted the occasion of hir death L. Cocceius was fréend to theÌ„ both He the Sommer before was sente of Caesar with Cecinna to Antonie into Asia and Antonie sente Cecinna home kept Cocceius still He séekyng occasioÌ„ to trie Antonie told him Caesar had seÌ„t for him desired he might departe asked whether hée woulde wryte to Caesar or no Antonie was content hée should departe But as for wrytyng sayde hée what shoulde we wryte but tauntes one to an other seyng wée are nowe enimies And I wrote to hym by Cecinna the copie whereof you shall haue if you wyll I brought you letters from hym sayde Cocceius and enimie you can not take hym that vsed your brother Lucius and your other fréendes so well Why quoth Antonie hée shutteth me out of Brunduse and hath taken myne armie and prouince that Calenus kepte And where hée is good to my fréendes hée hath made them by hys benefites mine enimies Then Cocceius not mindyng furder to stirre so angry a man departed And when Caesar saw hym marueling he had tarried so long sayde â–ª I haue not saued your brother that you should become mine enimie how cal you sayd he your freÌ„ds enimies take froÌ„ them their armies prouinces wherto Caesar sayd After the death of Calenus so great a charge ought not to be giuen to so yong a man as Calenus sonne Antonie being absent Lucius Asinius Aenobarbus in armes against me As for PlaÌ„cus legions I intercepted that they shoulde not go to Pompey as the horsemen did These things were tolde otherwise to Antonie sayde he yet he beléeued nothing till he was shutte from Brunduse I knewe not of it sayde Caesar neyther did I commaunde it the Brundusians the garrison that I left could not abide him when hée brought with him Aenobarbus a killed of Caesar and a proscribed maÌ„ who after the field at Philippi beséeâ—ged Brunduse and yet troubleth the coast of Italie burned my shippes spoyled the countrey You haue sayd he coÌ„sented one to the other to make alliance with whom ye wil. Neither haue Antonie ioyned with any manqueller more than you haue for regard of your father Aenobarbus is no man killer neyther any decrée of anger made against him neither was he priuie to that purpose And if he be thought vnworthy pardon bicause he was fréend to Brutus then must we sée whether al other be not in his case CoÌ„federacie is made with Pompey not to hurte you but if you make warre vpon Antonie to haue his societie if not to reconcile hym to you who is boyde of faulte but you are in the faulte For if warre had not bene made in Italie they durste neuer haue sente Embassages to Antonie Caesar replied and sayde that Fuluia Lucius and Manius began the warre in Italy And Pompey durst neuer before inuade the coast of
by this victory shoulde not inuade who neyther attempted any thing by lande nor made an ende of them by sea but suffered them to gather togither as they could and with prosperous wind to gette to Vibone either bycause he thought theÌ„ afflicted ynough or could not vse the victory or as I sayd before slowe to inuade contente to defend Of Caesars Nauie scarcely the halfe was lefte and that sore brusede leauing some to ouersée them with sorowfull mind he went into Campania for neyther had he any other Shippes hauing neede of manye nor time to make them the dearth béeyng great and the people crying for peace and blaming that warre that was made against promise Néede also he hadde of money whereof was great want the people of Rome not to be moued to any payments But Octauius Caesar subtile for his owne commoditie sent Mecenas to Antony with instructions to call him to societie of warre which if he refused he would traÌ„sport his legioÌ„s into Sicelie and trie y matter by laÌ„d Being in these cares it was knowen that Antony woulde ioyne with him in warre and that Agrippa had a victory against the French Aquitanes His frieÌ„ds also some Cities promised him ships So he leauing his sadnes prepared a greater Nauie At y beginning of the Spring Antonie came froÌ„ Athens to Tarentum with iij. C. ships to ioyne with Caesar in warre according to his promise He changing his purpose tarried til his Nauie was furnished and when he was told that Antonyes Nauie was sufficiente he alleaged he had other lettes y it might appeare he had more quarrell against Antony or despised his help trusting in his owne Antony taking it gréeuously remained yet still and required him once againe For hauing much adoe to prepare money for the Parthian war nede of Italian souldioures he would haue chaÌ„ged ships for meÌ„ although by coÌ„position both of them might take vp meÌ„ in Italy but it was y harder for him to do bycause Italy was another maÌ„s prouince Wherefore Octauia went to hir brother to moue him therevnto He said Antony had forsaken him whereby he was like to haue bin lost in y sea of Sicelie She aunswered that matter was satisfyed by Macenas Then he saide Antony had sent Callias his late slaue to confederate with Lepidus against him She sayd he went to treate of mariage For Antony before he should go to the Parthians warre desired to bestow his daughter vpoÌ„ Lepidus sonne as he had promised When Octauia had affirmed this Antony sente Callias to Caesar to trie y truth by torture which he refused sente word to Antony to méete him betwéene Metapontus and Tarento Antony when he saw Caesar lept into a bote alone signifying y he trusted him Caesar seing y did the like either of theÌ„ made hast tâ— get grouÌ„d on y contrary side but Caesar was the quicker arriued on Antontes side and wente in charriot with Antonie to hys sister Octauia and lodged togither without garde The nexte day Antonie did the lyke by him Thus they were soone at debate for suspition soone agréed for necessitie Caesar deferred the warre agaynst Pompey till the next yeare Antonie could tarry no longer there for the Parthians warre so they made an exchange Antonie gaue Caesar a hundreth and twenty shippes for the whiche Caesar promysed him twentie thousande legions Soldiours Italians Octauia presented hir brother with ten shippes that bothe serued for burden and ores Caesar gaue Octauia one thousande choyse men for his garde as Antonie woulde take And bycause y time of thrée mens authoritie was expired by decrée of Senate they continued it for fiue yeare more of their owne authoritie neither lokyng for consent of Senate nor confirmation of people and so departed Antonie making haste into Syria leauyng Octauia with hir brother and hyr sonne Menodorus being a traytour by nature or fearing the threates of Antonie that sayde he was his slaue or not finding such rewarde as he looked for or being moued with the daylie rebukes of his olde felowes Pompeis late bonde men and after Menecrates death exhorting hym to returne as vnfaithfull to hys Master hauing assuraunce he fledde to Pompey with seuen shippes Whiche Caluisius the admirall did not perceyue wherefore Caesar put him from his office and placed Agrippa When his nauie was finished he did purge it after this sorte Alters stande at the sea side touched with the water They with their shippes stande aboute with greate silence The priestes in boates in the sea make the sacrifices and carie their purgations

He went by Thracia a streight long and harde waye in the hote Sommer neither did he sende to Philip of Macedonie to conducte him neither diuided his army into many parts that they might go the lighter

to Lysimachia from Hellespont there was an Altare in his fight greate and goodly and when he vnderstoode the name was Argos he didde aske if the Argonants made it when they sayled into Colches or the Achaians when they went to the battell of Troy and if therfore the inhabitants call the Altare Argos or for that the shyppe was perished there or for that it was the Country of Atrida And whiles he was asking these questions he was killed of Ceraunus comming behinde hym and dispatchyng hym Philetâ—rus ruler of Pergamo didde bring Seleucus buying his bodye of Ceraunus for a great summe of money and sent the ashes to hys sonne Antiochus who didde make a Sepulchre for him at Seleucia nexte the Sea with a temple and a Chappell and named the Chappell Nicatâ—rio We learn that Lysimachus was one

of Ptolomie Philadelphos Laodice killed him and after him Berenice and hir childe And Ptolomeus the son of Philodelphus in reuenge killed Laodice inuaded Syria and tooke Babilon And the Parthians didde begynne to reuolte from the Kingdome subiecte to the Seleucidâ—ns bycause it beganne to be molested After hym that was called God reigned Seleucus his sonne by Laodice named Callinicos After Seleucâ—â— two children of Seleucus in order Seleucus and Antiochus Scleucus being weake and féeble and hauing a disoâ—edient armie was poysoned of his friendes after he had raigned two yeares Then Antiochus the Great of whom I haue written who was ouercome of the Romanes He raigned xxxvij years Of him and his children I haue spoken before both being kings Seleucus and Antiochus Seleucus twelue yeares weak and doyng nothing for his fathers misfortune Antiochus not fully two yeares in the whiche he ouerthrewe Artaxia of Armeniâ— and inuaded Egipt againste Ptâ—lomie the sixte who with his

Ptolomies whiche when he vnderstoode he saide he woulde take deliberation Then Popilius made a circle with a rodde and saide In this take thee aduisement He being afraide brake vp his camp and spoyled the Temple of Venus of Elymaea after the which he died of a consumption leauing a sonne of nine years of age Antiochus Eupatâ—r of whom I haue spoken and of Demetrius his successoure who being pledge at Rome fledde and was King and called also Sotor of the Syrians the second after Seleucus Nicatorâ— son Alexander counâ—erfaiting hymselfe to be of the house of Seleucides rose against him whom Ptolomeus King of Egipt maintained for hate of Demetrius And Demetâ—ius losing his kingdome by Ptolomie dyed but Demetrius sonne to hym that was called Sotor expelled Alexander bicause he did ouercome a bastarde by birth he was called Nicator of the Syrians the second after Seleucus He also after Seleucus made warre vppon the Parthians where being Captiue he liued with Phraarta the Kyng whose sister Radogine he marryed For want of a king Diodotus a seruaunt of the kings broughte in Alexander sonne to Alexander the bastard Ptolomies sister made him king then he killed the childe raigned himself changing his name into Tryphon But Antiâ—chus brother to Demetriuâ— the captiue hearing of his captiuitie at the Rhodes with muche add killed Tryphon after he was come into the Countrey Then he made war againste Phraartes requiring his brother Phraartes was afraide of him and deliâ—â—ered Demetrius Antiochus neuerthelesse fighting with the Parthians was ouercome killed himselfe And when Demetrius was returned to his kingdome Cleopatra his wife killed him for ielousie of his other wife Radogine for the whiche cause he was marryed to Antiochus Demetrius brother Shée had two children by Demetrius Seleâ—thus and Antiochus called Grypus by Antiochâ—s she had Aâ—tiochus called â—izicenus She sent Gâ—ypus to Athens Cyzicenus to Cyzicâ— to be brought vp Seleucus y succeded after his

a confederate of such might and estimation When Antonie hearde this he sayde If Pompey meaneth good faith I haue giuen commission to Titius to bryng him to me In the meake 〈…〉 Pompeâ—â— messengers that were sente to the Parthians were taken of Antonies officers and brought to Alexandria of whome when Antonie had learned all thyngs he sente for Pompeis Embassadours and shewed them to them Then they exellâ—â—d hym beyng a yong man and in extréeme necessrie fearyng to be reâ—â—â—â—ed of him and dryâ—â—en so proue the moste mortall enimies of the people of Rome â–ª but if he were sure of Antonies mynde hée should néede no furder suyte He beâ—éeued it as a playne man and nothyng suspitious Furnius beyng president of Asia receyued Pompey very gently not beyng hable to reâ—ect hym nor sure of Antonies minde But when hée sawe hym trayne his Soldiours hée gathered an aâ—my of the countrey and sente for 〈…〉 capitayne of the armie and for Amyntas a fréende who assemblyng â–ª quickly togither Pompey complayned that hée was vsed as an enimy When he had sent Embassadours to Antonie and loked for answere from him In the meane while he practised to take 〈…〉 by the helpe of Cuâ—â—â—ne hys fréende but the practise being discouered Curio was put to death and Pompey kylled hys laâ—e bondman Theodorus who was â—nely priute to that counsell And because he doubted of Furnius he tooke the citie of Lampsaco by composition where many Italians dyd inhabite appoynted by Iulius Caesâ—r whome hée allured to his pay with great promyses Now had hée two hundreth horse and thrée regions and besieged Cyzicus both by sea and lande from the whiche he was repulsed For there was a litle bande of Antonies and certen sworde players that were brought vp there And where Furnius absteyning from battayle old cuermore encampe nigh him and kept him froÌ„ soraging which he went aboute in the territorie of the Acheans Pompey set vpon the fore parte of hys campe and sente other aboute to do the like behinde Whereby Furnius resisting him hys campe was taken of the other and dryuen to flée by the fieldes of Scamandria where Pompey killed many of them for the fielde was moyst with the shoures They that escaped durst not turne againe to the fielde The people of Mysia Propontide other plaâ—es that were pore consumed with payment came to 〈…〉 seruice beyng renounâ—ed for hys late victorie But wantyng horsemen and beyng shrewdly handâ—ed in foragyng he heard of a bande of Italian horsemen goyng to Antonie whiche Octauia had sente from Athens and sente to corrupt them with golde The president of the countrey tooke them that brought the money and distcibuted it to the horse men Pompey at Nâ—cea and Nicâ—media gathered muche money with greate successe Furnius agayne comming into the fielde and encamping nigh him there came .lxx. shippes out of Sicelie in the spryng which were leste of them that Antonie had lent Caesar And Titius came out of Syria with a hundred and twentie shippes and a greate army all the which arriued at Proconnesco of the which Pompey being afrayde burned his shippes and armed his Mariners hauing more trust in the lande But Cassius of Parma Nasidius Saturninus Therinus Antistius other honorable friendes of Pompey Furnius moste déere vnto him Libâ— himself his father in lawe when they saw that Pompey was alwayes to weake they yéelded themselues to Antonie He being thus forsaken went into y midland of Bythinia entending to go into Armâ—nia Furnius Tituis folowed him he being secrete departed out of his tents and with great iourney they ouertooke him at night and seuerally encamped aboute an hill without ditche or trenche beyng late and they weary That night Pompey set vpon them with thrée thousande men as they were sléeping put them to flée naked shamefully but if hée had assayled them with his whole power or folowed them as brokeÌ„ he had gotten perfect victory But fortune would not suffer and he got nothing thereby but that he went on his iourney They recouering horses folowed him and kepte him from victuall so as beyng dryuen to speache hée desired to speake with Furnius that was some tyme â—â— fréende of hys Fathers and a man of greate dignitie And stâ—ndyng on the banke of the riuer hée sayde hée had sente Embassadours to Antonie and in the meane season wantyng victualles dyd that hée had done If you make warre vpon mée by 〈…〉 ies commaundeme he seeth not wel for himself not receyuing a greater warre to hang ouer hym But if you do it vpon your owne authoritie I pray you and beséeche you that you would ceasie till my Embassadours returne or carie me safely to him And to you O Furni I will committe my selfe so you will promise me to deliuer me safe to Antonie Thus much hée sayde hopyng in Antonie as a gentle man and séekyng to passe his iourney quietly To whom Furnius thus answeared If thou wouldest haue coÌ„mitted thy selfe to Antonie thou shouldest haue done it at the first or beyng quiet haue looked for answeare at Mâ—â—yiene but makyng warre thou haste brought thy selfe to this case if thou repentest thée blame not vs Antonie hath appoynted Titius to receyue thée to hym therefore committe thy selfe of whom thou mayst require that thou requirest of mée For he commaunded that if thou playest the parte of an enimie to kill thée if not to bryng thée honorably vnto him Pompey was offended with Tiâ—iâ— as vnthankfull bycause hée had made this warre agaynst hym whome he once tooke and saued hym Therefore Pompey was the more grieued to come into his handes that was but a méane man whose fidelitie he suspected eyther of his behauiour or of the former iniurie hée had done him before he did him pleasure Wherefore once agayne he yéelded to Furnius desired to be taken but it was not graunted Then he desired Amyntas â—ight take him which wheÌ„ Furnius sayde he should not do bycause it were a wrong to him that had commission from Antonie and so they brake Furnius Soldiours thought hée woulde haue yéelded the nexte day to Titius But he in the night makyng fires after the 〈…〉 and founding the trompe at euery reliefe of the watche with a few went out of the campe not tellyng them what he woulde doe for hée meante to haue gone to the sea and haue set Titius campe a fire whiche 〈…〉 he had 〈…〉 had not 〈…〉 gone from him and 〈…〉 his departure and whiche may he went Then Amyntas folowed him with 〈◊〉 hundred horsemen to whom whom he drewe nigh his people forsâ—â—ke hym some openly and some secretely When he sawe himself forsaken of all sides hée yéelded to Amyntas without condition refusing Tiâ—â—â—â— conditions Thus the yonger 〈◊〉 of great Pompey was taken â–ª losing his father when he was very yong and his
