The Life and Times of Cleopatra, Queen of Egypt / A Study in the Origin of the Roman Empire

by Arthur E. P. Brome Weigall

[62] Kaiser, Czar, &c.

[63] Cymbeline.

[64] Both Hammonios and Sarapion are common Egyptian names.

[65] This may mean that Cleopatra had gone to some other part of Rome either permanently or temporarily.

[66] Suetonius: Cæsar, 76.

[67] The action februare means “to purify,” here used probably to signify the magical expurgation of the person struck and the banishing of the evil influences which prevented fertility.

[68] Compare also the whip carried by a Sixth Dynasty noble named Ipe, Cairo Museum, No. 61, which seems more than a simple fly-flap.

[69] The Egyptian word is mes.

[70] Plutarch: Brutus.

[71] According to Suetonius, the Queen had now been sent back to Egypt, but a letter from Cicero, written in the following month, shows that she was in Rome until then.
