What had become of the magnificent galleys which had accompanied her to the battle? Even the contrary winds would not have detained them so long, for they were abundantly supplied with rowers. Had Octavianus taken possession of them? Were they burned or sunk? But in that case how had Antony reached Taenarum? The pirate could give no answer to these questions, which stirred both heart and brain.
Aristocrates, the Greek rhetorician, who had accompanied Antony to the war, had written from Taenarum, in the south of the Peloponnesus, requesting the architect, in the general's name, to set the little palace at the end of the Choma in order, and surround it on the land side with a high wall. No door would be necessary. Communication with the dwelling could be had by water.
A mysterious order from Lucilius, Antony's most faithful friend, brought from Taenarum by a swift galley, had summoned him hither.
While the Egyptian fleet had been defeated at Actium, and Antony, flying with Cleopatra, had gone first to Taenarum at the end of the Peloponnesian coast, he asserted that the army and fleet had met on the Peloponnesian coast and Octavianus was pursuing Antony, who had turned towards Athens, while Cleopatra was on her way to Alexandria.

The pirate protested that he did not know the position of the army it might be at Taenarum, whence the captured ship came. It was a sin and a shame, but his own crew had set it on fire, and it sank before his eyes.
