standing by； exclaimed； before he was yet seen by any one； 〃Who is
this that has found his end here？〃 adding after a short pause； with
a sigh； 〃Possibly even thou； Pompeius Magnus〃 and so going ashore；
he was presently apprehended and slain。 This was the end of Pompey。
Not long after； Caesar arrived in the country that was polluted with
this foul act； and when one of the Egyptians was sent to present him
with Pompey's head； he turned away from him with abhorrence as from
a murderer； and on receiving his seal； on which was engraved a lion
holding a sword in his paw； he burst into tears。 Achillas and Pothinus
he put to death； and King Ptolemy himself； being overthrown in
battle upon the banks of the Nile； fled away and was never heard of
afterwards。 Theodotus； the rhetorician； flying out of Egypt； escaped
the hands of Caesar's justice； but lived a vagabond in banishment；
wandering up and down； despised and hated of all men； till at last
Marcus Brutus； after he had killed Caesar； finding him in his province
of Asia； put him to death with every kind of ignominy。 The ashes of
Pompey were carried to his wife Cornelia； who deposited them at his
country…house near Alba。
THE END
