Caesar had put
him over Gaul south of the Alps. In the Civil War, Book 1, he is
merely mentioned as having fortified Cingulum at his own cost. Cicero
(_Ad Attic._ vii. 7) says that he was indebted to Caesar for his
wealth. His defection is mentioned by Cicero several times, and it
gave a temporary encouragement to the party of Pompeius. (_Ad Attic._
vi. 12, 13.) Labienus joined Pompeius and the Consuls at Teanum in
Campania on the 23rd of January.]
[Footnote 524: Corfinium three miles from the river Aternus. Caesar
(_Civil War_, i. 16-23) describes the siege of Corfinium. L. Domitius
Ahenobarbus was treated kindly by Caesar. He afterwards went to
Massalia and defended it against Caesar. This most excellent citizen,
as Cicero calls him, met the death he so well deserved at the battle
of Pharsalia, and as Cicero says (_Phillipp._ ii. 29), at the hand of
M. Antonius.]
[Footnote 525: See the Life of Pompeius, c. 62.]
[Footnote 526: From this it appears that the Life of Pompeius was
written after the Life of Caesar.]
[Footnote 527: Caesar (_Civil War_, i, 32) has reported his own
speech.]
[Footnote 528: See the Life of Pompeius, c. 62.]
[Footnote 529: This was the "sanctius aerarium" (Caesar, _Civil War_, i.
13), which Lentulus had left open; in such alarm had he left the city.
This money, which was kept in the temple of Saturn, was never touched
except in cases of great emergency.
