Note 43 — TRANSLATION
Clayton Morris Hall translation
11.[43] Carteia, on the Bay of Gibraltar. Octavius must have arrived after the battle of Munda had taken place, otherwise Nicolaus certainly would have mentioned his presence at that encounter, Caesar’s last successful one. Caesar wrote to Cicero from Hispalis, his next stopping point (Caes., B. Hisp., 39) on April 30 (Cic., Att., 13, 20, 1). Octavius’ arrival at Carteia was therefore some time in May.
