Note 536 — LIFE OF C. CÆSAR.
George Long translation
Cæsar mentions the capture of Gomphi (Civil War, iii. 80), but he says nothing of the wine. Cæsar let his men plunder Gomphi. The town had offered him all its means and prayed him for a garrison, but on hearing of his loss at Dyrrachinm the people shut their gates against him and sent to Pompeius for aid. The town was stormed on the first day that it was attacked.
