The senate approves his proposal about the sending of envoys, but no one was found to be sent, each refusing for himself the duty of this embassy mainly through fear. For Pompeius when quitting the city had said in the senate that he would regard in the same light those who remained at Rome and those who were in Caesar’s camp. Thus three days are spun out with discussion and excuses. Also L. Metellus, the tribune, is put up by Caesar’s enemies to thwart this proposal and to hinder everything else that he proposed to do. When his design was understood, several days having been already wasted, Caesar, in order to avoid throwing away any more time, having failed to do what he had proposed, leaves the city and goes into further Gaul.
