Having dismissed him with these instructions, he arrived before Brundusium with six legions, three
of which were composed of veteran soldiers, and the rest of new levies drawn
together upon his march; for as to Domitius's troops, he had sent them
directly from Corfinium to Sicily. He found the consuls were gone to Dyrrhachium with great part of the army,
and that Pompey remained in Brundusium with twenty cohorts. Nor
was it certainly known whether he continued there with design to keep
possession of Brundusium, that he might be master
of the whole Adriatic Sea, the extreme parts of Italy, and the country of Greece, in order to make war on both sides
the gulf; or for want of shipping to transport his men. Fearing, therefore,
that it was his intention to keep footing in

In the mean time L. Nasidius, sent by Pompey to the assistance of Domitius
and the Marseillians, with a fleet of sixteen ships, some of which were
strengthened with beaks of brass, passed the straits of Sicily unknown to Curio, landed at Messana, and raised so great a terrorin
the place, that being abandoned by the senate and principal inhabitants, he
found means to carry off one of their gallies; and joining it to his own
fleets steered directly for Marseilles, having despatched a frigate
before, to apprize Domitius and the inhabitants of his coming, and press
them to hazard a second engagement with Brutus, when they should be
reinforced by his fleet.

About the same time, C. Curio sailed from Sicily into Africa, with two of the four legions which
had been put under his command by Caesar, and five hundred horse; having
conceived the highest contempt of the troops headed by P. Attius Varus.
After two days and three nights sailing, he landed at a place called
Aquilaria. This place is about twenty-two miles distant from Clupea, and has
a very convenient harbour for ships in the summer time, sheltered on each
side by a promontory. L. Caesar, the son, waited for him at Clupea, with ten
galleys, which P. Attius had taken in the war against the pirates, and
repaired at Utica, for the service of the present war.
But terrified at the number of ships Curio brought with him, he stood in for
the coast; w

Sextus Quintilius Varus, who, as we have related above, had been made
prisoner at Corfinium, was now in the enemy's
army: for Caesar having granted him his liberty, he had retired into Africa. Curio had brought over with him
from Sicily the very same legions, who had
revolted some time before to Caesar at the siege of Corfinium: so that excepting a few
centurions who had been changed, the officers and companies were the same as
had formerly served with this very Quintilius. He made use of this handle to
debauch the army of Curio; "and began with putting the soldiers in mind of
their former oath to Domitius, and to himself, that general's questor; he
exhorted them not to carry arms against the old companions of their fortune,
who had shared with

For these reasons,Curio summoning a council of war, began to deliberate were
for attacking, at all hazards, the camp of Varus, in order to find
employment for the soldiers, whose idleness they considered as the cause of
all the present alarms. Besides, it was better, they said, to trust to
valour, and try the fortune of a battle, than see themselves abandoned by
their men, and delivered up to the barbarity of the enemy. Others were for
retiring, during the night, to the Cornelian camp, where they would have
more time to cure the infatuation of the soldiers; and whence, in case of a
disaster, they could, with more safety and ease, make good their retreat
into Sicily, by means of the great number of
ships they were there provided with.
