91.8 When Pompey had fled to sea from Rome, Caesar wished to take money from the treasury, but Metellus, who was in charge, tried to stop him, and locked up the treasury, whereupon Caesar threatened to kill him. Metellus was astounded, but Caesar said, Young man, that was harder for me to say than to do. Cf. Plutarch’s Life of Caesar, chap. xxv. (725 C); Life of Pompey, chap. lxii. (652 C); Appian The Civil Wars, ii. 41 and 138; Dio Cassius, xli. 17. 2; Cicero, Letters to Atticus, x. 4. 8; Lucan, Pharsalia, iii. 114-153.
91.9 As the transportation of his soldiers from Brundusium to Dyrrachium proceeded slowly, he, without being seen by anybody, embarked in a small boat, and attempted the passage through the open sea. But as the boat was being swamped by the waves, he disclosed his identity to the pilot, crying out, Trust to Fortune, knowing it is Caesar you carry. The story is often told. Cf. for example, Moralia, 319 B; Plutarch’s Life of Caesar, chap. xxxviii. (726 D); Appian, Roman History, the Civil Wars, ii. 57; Dio Cassius, xli. 46; Suetonius, Divus Iulius, 58; Lucan, Pharsalia, v. 580; Valerius Maximus, ix. 8. 2.
91.10 At that time he was prevented from crossing, as the storm became violent, and his soldiers quickly gathered about him in a state of high emotion if it could be that he were waiting for other forces because he felt he could not rely on them. A battle was fought At Dyrrhacium, 48 B.C. and Pompey was victorious; he did not, however, follow up his success, but withdrew to his camp. Caesar said, To-day the victory was with the enemy, but they have not the man who knows how to be victorious. Cf. Plutarch’s Life of Caesar, chap. xxxviii. (726 D) and xxxix. (727 B); Life of Pompey, chap. lxv. (654 A); Appian, Roman History, the Civil Wars, ii. 62; Dio Cassius, xli. 50; Suetonius, Divus Iulius, 36.
