Asia (search for this): book 3, chapter 107
For these reasons he sent into Asia for some of the legions which he had
raised out of the remains of Pompey's army: being himself necessarily
detained by the Etesian winds, which are directly contrary to any passage by
sea from Alexandria. Meantime, considering
the difference between Ptolemy and his sister, as subject to the cognizance
of the Roman people, and of him as consul; and the rather, because the
alliance with Ptolemy, the father, had been contracted during his former
consulship; he gave the king and Cleopatra to understand, that it was his
pleasure they should dismiss their troops, and instead of having recourse to
arms, come and plead their cause before him.
Pelusium (Egypt) (search for this): book 3, chapter 108
Pothinus the eunuch, governor to the young king, had the chief management of
affairs during his minority. This minister complained bitterly to his
friends, that the king should be summoned to plead his cause before Caesar:
afterwards finding among those that sided with the king, some who were
disposed to enter into his views, he privately sent for the army from Pelusium to Alexandria, and conferred the chief
command upon Achillas, the same we have spoken of before: inciting him by
letters and promises, both in the king's name and his own to execute such
orders as he should receive from him. Ptolemy, the father, by his will had
appointed the eldest of the two sons, and his elder daughter, joint heirs of
the kingdom. For the more certain accomplishment of his design, he

While this affair was debated before Caesar, who passionately desired to
terminate the matter amicably, and to the satisfaction of both parties, he
was informed that the king's army, with all the cavalry, were arrived at Alexandria. Caesar's forces were by
no means sufficient to give them battle without the town; and therefore the
only course left was to secure the most convenient posts within the city,
till he should get accquainted with Achillas's designs. Meantime he ordered
all the soldiers to their arms, and admonished the king, to send some
persons of the greatest authority to Achillas, to forbid his approach.
Discorides and Serapion, who had both been ambassadors at Rome, and in great credit with Ptolemy,
the father, were deputed to this office. But no sooner d

Rimini (Italy) (search for this): book 1, chapter 11
It was, by no means, a fair proposal, that Caesar should be obliged to quite Rimini and return to Gaul, while Pompey held provinces and
legions that were none of his: that he should dismiss his army, whilst the
other was levying troops: and, that only a general promise of going into Spain should be given, without fixing a
day for his departure; by which evasion, was he to be found in Italy, even at the expiration of Ca yet be charged with breach of faith. His forbearing
too to appoint a time for a conference, and declining to approach nearer,
gave little reason to hope for a peace. He therefore sent Antony to Arretium, with five cohorts; remained
himself at Rimini, with two, where he resolved to
levy troops; and seizing Pisaurum, Fanum, and Ancona, left a cohort in each for a
garrison.
