τῇ δὲ πρὸ τῆς μάχης νυκτὶ τὰς φυλακὰς
ἐφοδεύοντος αὐτοῦ περὶ τὸ μεσονύκτιον ὤφθη λαμπὰς οὐρανίου πυρός, ἣν
ὑπερενεχθεῖσαν τὸ Καίσαρος στρατόπεδον λαμπρὰν καὶ φλογώδη γενομένην
ἔδοξεν εἰς τὸ Πομπηΐου καταπεσεῖν. ἑωθινῆς δὲ φυλακῆς καὶ πανικὸν
τάραχον ᾔσθοντο γιγνόμενον παρὰ τοῖς πολεμίοις, οὐ μὴν μαχεῖσθαί γε κατ᾽
ἐκείνην προσεδόκα τὴν ἡμέραν, ἀλλὰ ὡς ἐπὶ Σκοτούσσης ὁδεύων
ἀνεζεύγνυεν.
