Original Text :	φείδεσθαι τε μηδενὸς ἢ τῶν Πομπηΐου τέκνων ταῦτα δ᾽ ἐξαρπασαμένους ἔχειν ὑφ᾽ αὑτοῖς καὶ φυλάττειν ὅμηρα τῶν πρὸς Πομπήϊον διαλύσεων: ἤδη γὰρ ἐφοίτα πολὺς λόγος καὶ βέβαιος ὑπὲρ αὐτοῦ κατιόντος ἀπὸ τῆς μεγάλης στρατείας.
Translation :	and to spare no one except the children of Pompey; these they were to seize and hold in their own custody and keep as hostages for their reconciliation with Pompey; for already there was current a wide-spread and sure report of his coming back from his great expedition.
