They manifested extreme jealousy and suspicion of each other in coming to this interview.

Two bridges were built leading to the island, one from each bank of the stream.

The army of Antony was drawn up upon one side of the river, and that of Octavius upon the other.

Lepidus went first to the island by one of the bridges.
After examining the ground carefully, to make himself sure that it contained no ambuscade, he made a signal to the other generals, who then came over, each advancing by his own bridge, and accompanied by three hundred guards, who remained upon the bridge to secure a retreat for their masters in case of treachery.

The conference lasted three days, at the expiration of which time the articles were all agreed upon and signed.
This league being formed, the three confederates turned their united force against the party of the conspirators.
