Pompey followed him to his new camp, and drew a line of cir- cumvallation round him. Mithridates stood a siege of forty. five days, after which he found means to steal off with his best troops, having first killed all the sick, and such as could be of no service.
Pompey overtook him near the Euphrates, and encamped over against him ; but fearing he might pass the river unperceived, he drew out his troops at midnight. At that time Mithridates is said to have had a dream prefigurative of what was... to befal him. He thought he was upon the Pontic Sea, sailing with a favourable viud, and in sight of the Bosphorus ; so that he felicitated hi.-* friends in the ship, like a man perfectly safe, already in harbour.
But suddenly he beheld himself in the most destitute condition, swimming upon a piece of wreck. While he was in all the agita- tion which the dream produced, his friends awaked him, and told him that Pompey was at hand. He was now under a necessity of fighting for his camp, and his generals drew up the forces with all possible expedition.
