[Footnote 106: That is Octavius, afterward the Emperor Augustus.]
[Footnote 107: Antony's mother was Julia, sister of Julius Cæsar; his
wife was Octavia, sister of Octavius, the Emperor Augustus.]
[Footnote 108: Cæsarion was born in 47 B.C., and is believed to have
gone to Rome with his mother Cleopatra in the following year. It has
been pointed out that there could be no reason for putting Cæsarion to
death as a possible competitor with Octavius at Rome, for tho Octavius
was only the nephew of Julius Cæsar, Cæsarion, his son, was not a
Roman citizen. Inasmuch, however, as it was the object of Octavius to
retain Egypt, Cæsarion might have been an obstacle to him there.]

Dolabella the elder married Cicero's daughter Tullia, and became one
of Cæsar's murderers.]
