Men flock together from all quarters to extinguish a general conflagration. The
veterans were the first to follow the authority of Caesar and to repel the
attempts of Antonius; afterward the Martial legion checked his frenzy; the
fourth legion crushed it. Being thus condemned by his own legions, he burst into
Gaul which he knew to be adverse
and hostile to him both in word and deed. The armies of Aulus Hirtius and Caius
Caesar pursued him, and afterward the levies of Pansa roused the city and all
Italy. He is the one enemy of all
men. Although he has with him Lucius his brother, a citizen very much beloved by
the Roman people, the regret for whose absence the city is unable to endure any
longer!
