to Egypt; and then it was that he lodged in a certain temple; for he had

to him, he was conducted into the city [Alexandria], and was retained there
by Cleopatra; yet was she not able to prevail with him to stay there, because
he was making haste to Rome, even though the weather was stormy, and he
was informed that the affairs of Italy were very tumultuous, and in great
disorder.
