Book CXIV.

Caecilius Bassus, [Y.R. 706. B.C. 46,] a Roman knight of the Pompeian party, stirred up war in Syria; the legion left there, under the command of Sextus Caesar, having slain their commander, and revolted to Bassus. Caesar defeated Scipio the praetor, Afranius, and Juba, at Thapsus, their camps having been stormed. Having heard of this circumstance, Cato stabbed himself at Utica, and by the intervention of his son he might have been saved, but in the middle of the restoratives, having torn open the wound, he expired, in his forty-ninth year. Petreius put Juba and himself to death. Publius Scipio, being surrounded in his ship, to an honourable death added also a remarkable speech, for to the enemies who inquired about the general, he said, “The general is well.” Faustus and Afranius were slain. Cato's son was pardoned. Brutus, Caesar's lieutenant-general, defeated the rebellious Bellovacians in battle.
