M. Varro, in farther Spain, having early notice of what passed
in Italy, and beginning to distrust the
success of Pompey's affairs, spoke in a very friendly manner to `Caesar. He
said, "That he was indeed under particular obligations to Pompey, who had
made him his lieutenant-general, but at the same time was no less indebted
to Caesar: that he was not ignorant of the duty of a lieutenant, employed by
his general in an office of trust; but that he likewise knew his own
strength, and the attachment of the whole province to Caesar." After this
manner he talked in all companies, nor declared expressly for either side.
But when he afterwards understood, that Caesar was detained by the siege of Marseilles; that the armies of Petreius
and Afranius h

Having therefore detached two legions into farther Spain, under the command of Q. Cassius,
tribune of the people, he himself advanced, by great journeys, at the head
of six hundred horse. He sent orders before to the magistrates, and the
principal men of every state, to meet him by a certain day at Cordova. All obeyed; every state sent his
deputies; nor was there a single Roman citizen of any consideration, who did
not repair thither on this occasion, The very senate of Cordova, of their own proper motion, shut
their gates against Varro, stationed guards and sentinels along the walls,
and detained two cohorts, called Calonicae, which chanced to march that way,
that they might serve to protect the town. At the same time those of Carmona, the most considerable state in

Curio received the same news, but for some time would not believe it, so
greatly did he confide in his good fortune. Besides, Caesar's success in Spain was already known in Africa; whence he concluded it improbable
that Juba would attempt any thing against him.
But when he was for certain informed with his whole army, he retired from
before the town to the Cornelian camp, laid in great quantities of corn and
wood, began to fortify himself, and sent directly to Sicily for the cavalry, and the two
legions he had left there. The camp itself was very advantageous for
protracting the war, being strong both by nature and art, near the sea, and
abounding in water and salt, great quantities of which had been carried
thither from the neighbouring saltpits. Neither ran he any

We have seen that L. Vibullius Rufus, Pompey's chief engineer, had fallen
twice into Caesar's hands, and been as often set at liberty; the first time
at Corfinium, the next in Spain. Having been therefore twice
indebted to him for his life, and being also much in Pompey's esteem, Caesar
thought him a proper person to negotiate between them. His instructions
were; "That it was now time for both to desist from their obstinacy, and lay
down their arms, without exposing themselves any more to the precarious
events of fortune. That the losses they had already sustained ought to serve
as lessons and cautions, and fill them with just apprehensions with regard
to the future. That Pompey had been forced to abandon Italy, had lost Sicily and Sardinia, the two Spains, with abou
