Octavius asked permission to go home to see his mother, and when it was granted, he set out. When he reached the Janiculan Hill near Rome, a man who claimed to be the son of Marius came with a large crowd of people to meet him. He had taken also some women who were relatives of Caesar, for he was anxious to be enrolled in the family, and they testified to his descent. He did not succeed in persuading Atia at all, nor her sister, to make any false statement concerning their family; for the families of Caesar and Marius were very close, but this young man was really no relative whatever. So he came up to the young Caesar with a great multitude and tried to gain his authority also for being enrolled in the family.
Octaviusは母に会いに家に帰りたいと願い出て、それが認められてから出発した。ローマ近くのJaniculan Hillに着いた時、Marius の息子だと名乗る1人の男が彼に会いに大勢の群衆と共にやって来た。男はCaesarの親戚の女性を何人か連れていた。それは男がCaesarの家族の一員になりたがっており、彼女らに彼の血筋を証明させるためだった。男はAtiaばかりでなく、Atiaの妹も家族に関して嘘の証言をするようにうまく説得できなかった。CaesarとMariusの家系は非常に近かったのだが、この若者は全く何の関係もなかった。そこで彼は若きCaesarのところへ大勢の群衆と共にやって着て、 彼の権威を得て、家族の一員に加えてもらおうとした。
