Of the CXXVII. booke.
THe Parthians under the conduct of Labienus, who had taken part with Pompeie and that side, invaded Syria; evercame Didius Saxa, the lieutenant of M. Antonius, and held all that province to their owne use. M. Antonius being sollicited by the instigation of his wife Fulvia to make war against Caesar, put her away, because she should be no let nor hinderance to the accord and agreement of the three rulers in their Triumvirate. Then made hee a peace with Cae∣sar, and tooke to wife his sister Octavia. Q. Salvidienus who complotted mischiefe against Caesar, he de∣tected and bewraied: who being thereupon condemned, wrought his owne death. P. Ventidius a lieute∣nant under Antonius, overcame the Parthians in battaile, and chased them forth of Syria, having be∣fore slaine their leader Labienus. When as Sextus Pompeius held Sicilie, and being a neere enemie and ill neighbour to Italie, staied the transporting of corne and victuals by sea: upon request Caesar and An∣tonie made peace with him for this consideration, that he should governe Sicilie as his province. Also herein are set forth the troubles and warres of Africke.
