ὁ δὲ Καῖσαρ ὡς ἐν τῷ χάρακι τοῦ
Πομπηΐου γενόμενος τούς τε κειμένους νεκροὺς ἤδη τῶν πολεμίων εἶδε καὶ
τούς ἔτι κτεινομένους, εἶπεν ἄρα στενάξας ‘τοῦτο
ἐβουλήθησαν, εἰς τοῦτό με ἀνάγκης ὑπηγάγοντο, ἵνα Γάϊος Καῖσαρ ὁ
μεγίστους πολέμους κατορθώσας, εἰ προηκάμην τὰ στρατεύματα, κἂν
κατεδικάσθην.’

ταῦτά φησι Πολλίων Ἀσίννιος τὰ ῥήματα
Ῥωμαϊστὶ μὲν ἀναφθέγξασθαι τὸν Καίσαρα παρὰ τὸν τότε καιρόν,
Ἑλληνιστὶ δ᾽ ὑπ᾽ αὑτοῦ γεγράφθαι τῶν δὲ ἀποθανόντων τούς πλείστους
οἰκέτας γενέσθαι περὶ τὴν κατάληψιν τοῦ χάρακος ἀναιρεθέντας, στρατιώτας
δὲ μὴ πλείους ἑξακισχιλίων πεσεῖν, τῶν δὲ ζώντων ἁλόντων κατέμιξε τούς
πλείστους ὁ Καῖσαρ εἰς τὰ τάγματα: πολλοῖς δὲ καὶ τῶν ἐπιφανῶν ἄδειαν
ἔδωκεν, ὧν καὶ Βροῦτος ἦν ὁ κτείνας αὐτὸν ὕστερον, ἐφ᾽ ᾧ λέγεται
μὴ [p. 554] φαινομένῳ μὲν ἀγωνιᾶσαι, σωθέντος δὲ καὶ παραγεονμένου
πρὸς αὐτὸν ἡσθῆναι διαφερόντως.
