The second night we again camped in the woods; the third we spent at a farmhouse, thanks to Agathemer's flageolet. The farmer, whose name was Caesus, told a grewsome tale of the horrors of the plague and of the death of almost all his slaves. He was gloomy about his future, as he, his two sons, and their surviving slave were too few to work his farm.
Livy's account of the business, however, differs from Sallust's, and the expression is perhaps not authentic. "At ego scio, Quirites, qui, postquam consules facti sunt, acta majorum, et Graecorum militaria praecepta legere coeperint. Homines praeposteri!" Speech of Marius, Sallust, Jugurtha, 85. "Caesus ab utero matris."
