Γάϊος Ἰούλιος Καῖσαρ νέος ὢν ἔδοξε καθ ̓ ὕπνους συνουσιάζειν τῇ ἰδίᾳ μητρὶ, καὶ ἐν ταῖς ἀγέλαις αὐτοῦ ἵππος ἐτέχθη χηλοὺς ἔχων ἀντὶ ὁπλῆς, καὶ οὐδένα ἕτερον ἀναβάτην ἐδέχετο, εἰ μὴ αὐτὸν μόνον, ὡς ὁ Βουκέφαλος τὸν Ἀλέξανδρον. Πρὸ δὲ μιᾶς ἡμέρας τοῦ θανάτου αὐτοῦ, ἔδοξεν ὁρᾶν ἡ γυνὴ αὐτοῦ πεπτωκυῖαν τὴν οἰκίαν αὐτοῦ, καὶ αὐτὸν τραυματίαν καὶ αἵματι κατάρρυτον ἐμπεσεῖν τοῖς κόλποις αὐτῆς. Προϊόντι δὲ αὐτῷ ἔδωκέ τις ἐν χάρτῃ τὴν κατ ̓ αὐτοῦ ἐπιβουλήν· ὁ δὲ ἄλλο τι νομίσας εἶναι, καὶ διὰ τοῦτο μὴ ἀναγνοὺς, ἀλλὰ δοὺς τοῖς ὑπογραφεῦσιν, ἐσφάγη.
