while the majority, instead of believing it, ascribed it to Caesar, interpreting it to mean that he had become immortal and had been received into the number of the stars, Octavius then took courage and set up in the temple a bronze statue of him with a star above his head. And when this act also was allowed, no one trying to prevent it through fear of the populace, then at last some of the other decrees already passed in honor of Caesar were put into effect. Thus they called one of the months July after him, and in the course of certain festivals of thanksgiving for victory they sacrificed during one special day in memory of his name. For these reasons the soldiers also readily took the side of Caesar.

大多数は、それを信じる代わりにCaesarのせいだと信じ、Caesarが永遠の命を得て多くの星に迎え入れられたのだと解釈した。そこでOctaviusは勇気をふりしぼり神殿の中に頭上に星を冠した彼のブロンズ像を据えた。これも許されると、民衆を恐れて誰もそれを妨げようとはしなかった。そこでついにCaesarに敬意を表してすでに通過していた法令が施行された。こうして、彼を追悼した特別の日の勝利の感謝祭の最中、彼の名にちなんで月の１つをJulyと名づけた。このような理由から兵士らもためらうことなくCaesar側についた。
