Octavian at first did not believe it because of its improbable sound,but soon he perceived that the whole plan had been directed against himself, so he considered with his friends as to what he should do. His mother came also, at a loss over the strange turn of affairs, and desiring to know what the report meant and what were Antonius' intentions.They advised Octavian to withdraw from the city at once for a few days until the matter could be investigated and cleared up.He, unconscious of any guilt, thought that it would be a serious matter for him to conceal himself and in a way incriminate himself,for he would gain nothing toward his safety by withdrawing, while he might the more easily be destroyed in secret.
