Nicolaus of Damascus' life of Augustus

Note 122 — TRANSLATION

Clayton Morris Hall translation

C. Calvisius Sabinus, consul in 39 B.C., was in the year 48 with Caesar (Caes., B. C., 3, 34). In 38 he held a command in Octavian’s fleet, at that time engaged with Sextus Pompeius (App. 5, 80-81), and in the year 36 he was superseded by Agrippa because of his failure to prevent the desertion of one of his subordinates (App. 5, 96). Marcius Censorinus, probably praetor in 43 B.C., is spoken of as a Caesarian and an Antonian in Att. 14, 10, 2; Phil. 11, 36; 13, 2, but their attempt to defend Caesar is mentioned only by Nicolaus.
