He is often mentioned by Caesar (_Civil War_, i. 15, 23, &c.); but as
the readings in Caesar's text are very uncertain (Jubellius, Jubilius,
Jubulus) Sintenis has not thought it proper to alter the text of
Plutarch here.
'On the third day.' Caesar (_Civil War_, iii. 10) says 'triduo
proximo," and the correction of Moses du Soul, [Greek: hemera rhete] ,
is therefore unnecessary. Pompeius had moved westward from
Thessalonica at the time when Rufus was sent to him, and was in
Candavia on his road to Apollonia and Dyrrachium (Caesar, _Civil War_,
iii. 11).]
[Footnote 360: Pompeius returned to Dyrrachium, which it had been the
object of Caesar to seize. As he had not accomplished this, Caesar
posted himself on the River Apsus between Apollonia and Dyrrachium.
The fights in the neighbourhood of Dyrrachium are described by Caesar
(_Civil War_, iii. 34, &c.).]
[Footnote 361: The Athamanes were on the borders of Epirus and
Thessalia. In place of the Athamanes the MSS. of Caesar (_Civil War_,
iii. 78) have Acarnania, which, as Drumann says, must be a mistake in
the text of Caesar.]
[Footnote 362: Q. Metellus Scipio, the father-in-law of Pompeius, who
had been appointed to the government of Syria by the Senate. Scipio
had now come to Thesaalia (Caesar, _Civil War_, iii. 33, and 80).]
[Footnote 363: Cato was left with fifteen cohorts in Dyrrachium. See
the Life of Cato, c.
