As he was approaching,Lucilius presented himself,and said, "You have not captured Brutus." Brutus fled to the mountains with a considerable force,intending to return to his camp by night. But since all the roads were encompassed by guards.Antony passed the night under arms with his outposts over against Brutus, fortifying himself with a breastwork of dead bodies and spoils collected together. Octavius toiled til midnight and then retired on account of his illness, leaving Norbanus to watch the enemy's camp.Brutushaving fewer than four full legions, which had ascended the mountain with him, thought it best not to address himself to his troops, but to their officers, who were ashamed and repentant of their fault.
Antonyが近づいてきたためLuciliusが自己紹介してこう言った。「Brutusはまだ捕まってはおりません。」Brutusは夜のうちに自分の陣地に戻ろうとして大軍を率いて山に逃げていた。しかし全ての道は警備の兵士によって塞がれており、Antonyは遺体で作った胸壁と皆で集めた略奪品で自分の防備を固め、Brutusに対する前哨部隊の下で夜を過ごした。Octaviusは真夜中まで骨折って働いてから病のためにNorbanusを敵の陣地の見張りに残して退いた。Brutusの軍は定員に達した4レギオンよりも少なかったが、Brutusと共に山を登った。Brutusは軍隊にではなく自分たちの失敗を恥じ、後悔している士官らに言葉を掛けるのが最善だと考えた。
To them he sent to put them to the test and to learn whether they were willing to break through the enemy's lines and regain their own camp,which was still held by their troops who had been left there.These officers,though they had rushed to battle unadvisedly,had been of good courage for the most part,but now, for some divine infatuation was already upon them,gave to their general the undeserved answer that he should look out for himself, that they had tempted fortune many times, and that they would not throw away the last remaining hope of accommodation. Then Brutus said to his friends, "I am no longer useful to my country if such is the temper of these men," and calling Strato gave him the order to stab him.
そして彼らを試して 敵の前線を突破して、そこにまだ残されている自分たちの軍によって守られている自らの陣地に再びたどり着きたいかどうか知ろうとした。士官らは軽率に戦に突入してしまったが、大部分は勇敢だった。しかし、すでに何か神がかり的な心酔状態に陥っており、将軍に対し、Brutusは自分自身でそれをすべきだ、自分たちは何度も運命に立ち向かったのだから、和解の最後の望みを投げ出したくない、と不適当な答えを将軍に返した。するとBrutusは友人に向かって「自分の部下がこんなていたらくでは私はもはや国の役には立てない。」と言うや、Stratoと呼び、自分を一突きにするよう命じた。
So died Cassius and Brutus.Antony found the body of Brutus,wrapped it in the best purple garment,burned it, and sent the ashes to his mother,Servilia, Brutus's army, when it learned of his death, sent envoys to Octavian and Antony and obtained pardon,and was divided between their armies. It consisted of about 14,000 men. Besides these a large number who were in the forts surrendered. The forts themselves and the enemy's camp were given to the soldiers of Octavian and Antony to be plundered. Of the distinguished men in Brutus' camp some perished in the battles,others killed themselves as the two generals had done,others purposely continued fighting till death.Among these men of note were Lucius Cassius and Cato.
こうしてCassiusとBrutusは亡くなった。Antonyは最上の紫色の衣服に身を包んだBrutusの遺体を発見してこれを火葬し、その灰を母親のServiliaの下に送った。Brutusの軍は、Brutusの死を知るやOctavianとAntonyに特使を送り許しを得て、OctavianとAntonyの軍の中に振り分けられた。軍は14000名の兵士で構成されていた。この大勢の兵士らの他に砦にいた兵士も降伏した。砦と敵陣はOctavianとAntonyの兵士らに与えられ略奪された。Brutusの陣の優れた兵士らの中で、ある者は戦死し、2人の将軍のように、ある者は自害して果てた。またある者は覚悟を決めて死ぬまで戦った。なかでも注目すべきはLucius CassiusとCatoだった。
