[Footnote 748: See the Life of Caesar, c. 52, and Dion Cassius, 42, c.
57. This Scipio was unworthy of the name and unequal to the times.]
[Footnote 749: The Greek writers represent the name in different ways.
Plutarch writes [Greek: Ituke]. Dion Cassius writes it [Greek:
Outike]. This old Phoenician city was on the coast near the mouth of
the river Bagradas; but its supposed remains are some distance inland.

[Footnote 750: See the Life of Caesar, c. 53, and Dion Cassius, 43, c.
7. The battle was fought in B.C. 46.]
[Footnote 751: The son of Cn. Octavius, who was consul B.C. 76. Marcus
was Curule AEdile B.C. 50. (Drumann, _Octavii_, p. 225.)]
[Footnote 752: He was the son of L. Julius Caesar, consul B.C. 64. The
son was pardoned by Caesar (_Bell. Afric._ c. 88, 89). Dion Cassius
(43, c. 12) says that Caesar first brought him to trial, but as he was
unwilling to condemn him by his own authority, he privately got him
put to death. The statement of Dion is deficient in precision,
incredible by reason of Caesar's well-known clemency, and the
insignificance of Lucius as an enemy, and not altogether reconcilable
with other authorities. (Drumann, _Julii_, p. 125.)]

Socrates, and his death.
