Gnaeus Merula Comes to Rome
At this time Gnaeus Merula also came from Alexandria,
note
informing the king (Physcon) that his brother
would consent to none of the proposals, but
maintained that they ought to abide by the
original agreements. On hearing this, Physcon
selected the brothers Comanus and Ptolemy note
to go as ambassadors to Rome with Gnaeus, and inform the
Senate of his brother's selfish and haughty behaviour. At the
same time the elder Ptolemy sent away Titus Torquatus also
without having attained the object of his mission. Such was
the state of things in Alexandria and Cyrene. . . .
