Besides all this, Scipio gave orders for seizing the treasures of the temple
of Diana at Ephesus, with all the statues of that
goddess. But when he came to the temple, attended by many persons of
senatorian rank, he received letters from Pompey, desiring him to lay aside
all other concerns, and make what haste he could to join him, because Caesar
had passed into Greece all other concerns, and make what haste he could to join him, because Caesar
had passed into Greece with his whole army. In consequence
of this order, he sent back the senators who had been summoned to attend him
at Ephesus, made preparations for passing
into Macedonia, and began his march a few days
after. Thus the Ephesian treasures escaped being plundered.

When Caesar arrived in Asia he found that T. Ampius, having
formed the design of seizing the treasures of the Ephesian Diana, and
summoned all the senators in the province to bear witness to the sum taken,
had quitted that project upon Caesar's approach, and betaken himself to
flight. Thus was the temple of Ephesus a second time saved from plunder
by Caesar. It was remarked in the temple of Minerva at Elis, that the very day Caesar gained the
battle of Pharsalia, the image of victory, which before stood fronting the
statue of the goddess, turned towards the portal of the temple. The same
day, at Antioch in Syria, such a noise of fighting and
trumpets was heard two several times, that the inhabitants ran to arms and
manned their walls. The like

THE SUBJECT.
MNESILOCHUS, when absent at Ephesus, writes and requests his friend, Pistoclerus, to search for his mistress, Bacchis, who has left Athens with a military Captain. Having discovered her on her return to Athens, Pistoclerus falls in love with her twin-sister, whose name is also Bacchis, and is severely reproved by his tutor, Lydus, for so doing. Mnesilochus returns to Athens, and discovers from Lydus that his friend Pistoclerus is in love with a female of the name of Bacchis. He thereupon imagines that he has supplanted him with his own mistress, and in his anger resolves to restore to his father some money of his which he had gone to Ephesus to recover, and a part of which he had contrived, through a scheme of the servant Chrysalus, to retain, in order that he might redeem his mistress from the Captain. Having afterwards discovered the truth, he greatly repents that he has done so, as the officer threatens to carry Bacchis off instantly, if the money is not paid. On th

THE ACROSTIC ARGUMENT. [Supposed to have been written by Priscian the Grammarian.]
MNESILOCHUS is inflamed with love for Bacchis (Bacchidis). But, first of all, he goes to Ephesus, to bring back some gold (Aurum). Bacchis sails for Crete (Cretam), and meets with (Convenit) the other Bacchis; thence she returns to Athens; upon this (Hinc), Mnesilochus sends a letter to Pistoclerus, that he may seek for her (Illam). He returns; he makes a quarrel while (Dum) he supposes that his own mistress is beloved by Pistoclerus; when they have discovered the mistake as to the twin-sisters, Mnesilochus pays the gold to that (Ei) Captain; equally are the two in love. The old men (Senes), while they are looking after their sons, join the women, and carouse.

THE ACROSTIC ARGUMENT. [Supposed to have been written by Priscian, the Grammarian.]
A Captain carries off to Ephesus a Courtesan (Meretricem) from Athens. While his servant is intending to tell this (Id) to his master, her lover, who is an Ambassador (Legato) abroad, he himself is captured at sea, and (Et) is given as a present to the same Captain. The servant sends for his (Suum) master from Athens, and cleverly makes a hole in the party wall, common to the two (Geminis) houses, that it may be possible (Liceret) for the two lovers secretly to meet. Wandering about (Oberrans), her keeper sees them from the tiles, but he is played a trick (Ridiculis) upon, as though it were another person. Palaestrio, too, as well (Item) persuades the Captain to have his mistress dismissed (Omissam), since the wife of the old man (Senis), his neighbour, wishes to marry him. He begs that she will go away of her own accord (Ultro), and gives her many things. He, himself, caught in the house of the old m
