Reading notes
- Ad Atticum 5.20 §3 the Parthian general Osaces took a wound with great authority on his side, and died of it
Osaces commanded the Parthian force that had penned Cassius in Antioch; pursued in his retreat, he was wounded and died days later. His death effectively ended the 51 BC invasion threat to Cicero's frontier.
