told  that  this  his  meeting  the  soldiers  would  not
be  for  his  good.  Then  did  Norbanus  meet  them,
■who  was  one  of  the  principal  nobilit.y  of  the  city,
and  could  shew  many  generals  of  armies  among
his  ancestors  ■-  but  they  paid  no  regard  to  his
dignity :  yet  -yas  he  of  such  great  strength  that
he  wrested  the  sword  of  the  first  of  those  that
assiiulted  him  out  of  his  hands,  and  appeared
plainly  not  to  be  willing  to  die  without  a  struggle
for  his  life,  until  he  was  suixounded  by  a  great
number  of  assailants,  and  died  by  the  multitude
of  the  wounds  which  they  gave  him.  The  third
man  was  Anteius,  a  senator,  and  a  few  others
with  him.  Ue  did  not  meet  with  these  Ger-
mans by  chance,  as  the  rest  did  before,  but  came
to  shew  his  hatred  to  Caius,  and  because  he  loved
to  see  Caius  lie  dead  with  his  own  eyes,  and  took
a  pleasure  in  that  sight ;  for  Caius  had  banished
Anteius's  father,  who  was  of  the  same  name
with  liimseK,  antl,  being  not  satisfied  with  that,
he  sent  out  his  soldiers,  and  slew  him ;  so  he  was
come  to  rejoice  at  the  sight  of  him,  now  he  was
dead.  But  as  the  house  was  now  all  in  a  tumult,
when  he  was  aiming  to  hide  himself,  he  could
not  escape  that  accurate  search  which  the  Ger-
mans made,  while  they  barbarously  slew  those
that  were  guilty  and  those  that  were  not  guilty,
and  this  equally  also.  And  thus  were  these
[three]  persons  slain.
