This miracle at Tralles and others are enumerated by
Caesar (_Civil War_, iii. 105; Dion Cassius, 41. c. 61). The book of
Livius, in which this affair of Patavium (Padua) was mentioned (the
111th), is lost. See the Supplement of Freinsheim, c. 72.]
[Footnote 543: See life of Pompeius, c. 42, notes; and Appianus
(_Civil Wars_, ii. 88).]
[Footnote 544: Caesar crossed the Hellespont, where he met with C.
Cassius Longinus going with a fleet to aid Pharnakes in Pontus.
Cassius surrendered and was kindly treated, in consideration of which
he afterwards assisted to murder Caesar. (Appianus, _Civil Wars_, ii.
88.)]
[Footnote 545: Of Knidus. The same who is mentioned by Cicero (_Ad
Attic._ xiii. 7) as a friend of Caesar, and by Strabo, p. 48, &c.
Asia is the Roman province of Asia.]
[Footnote 546: Caesar (_Civil War_, iii. 106) speaks of his arrival on
the coast of Egypt. The Egyptians were offended to see the Roman
fasces carried before him.]
[Footnote 547: Caesar had the head of Pompeius burnt with due honours,
and he built a temple to Nemesis over the ashes. The temple was pulled
down by the Jews in their rising in Egypt during the time of Trajanus.
(Appianus, _Civil Wars_, ii. 90.)
As to the seal ring see the Life of Pompeius, c. 80, and Dion Cassias
