Plutarch, Valerius Maximus, Appian,
Suetonius, & Lucan, do all write, that Cae∣sar,
impatient of the slay of his forces at Brun∣du
sium, imbarked himself in a small Frigat of
twelve oares,* 1.2 disguised in the habit of a slave,
and put to sea to fetch his Legions; not∣withstanding
all the Coast swarmed with the
Enemies shipping: but meeting with a con∣trary
wind, which would not suffer him to
get out of the River Anius, the Master com∣manded
the Mariners to cast about, and get
to shore. Whereupon Caesar discovering
himself, incouraged him to go forward, for that
he carried Caesar and his fortunes.
The Master forgetting all danger, made out
again to get to sea; but was by force of the
tempest driven to return, to Caesar's great grief.
And albeit there is no mention made hereof
in these Commentaries, yet the authority of
so many grave Authours is not to be con∣temned.
