Nam C. Caesaris anceps conatus, etsi caelestium cura protectus est, non tamen [vix] sine horrore animi referri potest: si quidem impatiens legionum tardioris a Brundisio Apolloniam traiectus, per simulationem adversae valetudinis convivio egressus, maiestate sua servili veste occultata naviculam conscendit <et> e flumine Ao<o> maris Hadriatici saeva tempestate fauces petiit, protinusque in altum dirigi iusso navigio, multum ac diu contrariis iactatus fluctibus, tandem necessitati cessit.
A hazardous attempt of C. Caesar, although he was protected by the care of the gods, can hardly be related without a shudder. Impatient at the tardy crossing of his legions from Brundisium to Apollonia, he left dinner pretending an indisposition, hid his majesty in a slaves dress, embarked on a small craft, and in stormy weather made his way from the river Aous to the mouth of the Adriatic and then ordered the vessel to be steered into the open sea. But buffeted much and long by adverse waves, he finally bowed to necessity.
