[67] Cyrene with four other cities—Apollonia, Ptolemais, Arsinoe, Berenice—formed a Pentapolis. (Livy, Epit. 70.)
[68] App., b. c. I. iii. sq.; Sall., hist. fr. ii. 39.
[69] Vell. Pat., ii. 34; Dio, 36, 2; Iust. 39, 5; Livy, Epit. 100. The laws of Crete were left in force (Cic., Mur. § 74; pro Flacc. § 30).
[70] App., b. c. iii. 12, 16, 36; iv. 57; Dio, 47, 21.

[72] The possibility of these legions crossing to Italy had caused no little anxiety at Rome; Cicero, ad Att. xiv. 16.
[73] Cicero, ad Att. xv. 21.
[74] Suetonius (Iul. 83) says, “three-fourths”; so also does Nicolas Dam. 17 (τρία μέρη τῶν χρημάτων). But Livy (Ep. 116) says “one-half” (ex semisse). It is possible Livy may refer to the amount left when the legacy of 300 sesterces to each citizen was deducted. Nicolas seems to think, however, that this legacy was charged on the remaining fourth. Octavian certainly undertook to pay it, but then Pinarius and Pedius handed over their shares to him.
[75] Appian (b. c. ii. 147) says that the body itself was not seen during Antony’s laudatio, but that a wax figure was displayed which by some mechanical contrivance was made to revolve and show all the wounds.
[76] Nicolas (§ 17) would seem to send them straight to Antium. But from Cicero’s letters it is clear that Brutus at any rate went first to Lanuvium, ad Att. xiv. 10, 21; xv. 9. They seem to have gone to Antium towards the end of May or beginning of June.
