Pompey came on board.

The ship was given up to his possession, and every possible arrangement was made to supply his wants, to contribute to his comfort, and to do him honor.
[Sidenote: His arrival at Amphipolis.] The vessel conveyed him to Amphipolis, a city of Macedonia near the sea, and to the northward and eastward of the place where he had embarked.
When Pompey arrived at the port he sent proclamations to the shore, calling upon the inhabitants to take arms and join his standard.

He did not, however, land, or take any other measures for carrying these arrangements into effect.

He only waited in the river upon which Amphipolis stands long enough to receive a supply of money from some of his friends on the shore, and stores for his voyage, and then get sail again.

Whether he learned that Caesar was advancing in that direction with a force too strong for him to encounter, or found that the people were disinclined to espouse his cause, or whether the whole movement was a feint to direct Caesar's attention to Macedon as the field of his operations, in order that he might escape more secretly and safely beyond the sea, can not now be ascertained.
[Sidenote: Pompey's wife Cornelia.] [Sidenote: Her beauty and accomplishments.] Pompey's wife Cornelia was on the island of Lesbos, at Mitylene, near the western coast of Asia Minor.
