86 1 Cleopatra Ptolomaei regis Aegyptiorum filia, a fratre suo Ptolomaeo eodemque marito, quem fraudare regno voluerat, pulsa ad Caesarem bello civili in Alexandriam venit; ab eo specie sua et concubitu regnum Ptolomaei et necem impetravit. 2 Haec tantae libidinis fuit, ut saepe prostiterit, tantae pulchritudinis, ut multi noctem illius morte emerint. 3 Postea Antonio iuncta, cum eo victa, cum se illi inferias ferre simularet, in Mausoleo eius admotis aspidibus periit.
