Wherefore C\u00e6sar himself gave a wife of his own family to my father, who was his foster-brother; and of her three sons of us were born, two before me, who were twins and very like each other, as my father told me. But I scarcely know either them or our mother, but bear about with me an obscure image of them, as through dreams. My mother\u2019s name was Mattidia, and my father\u2019s, Faustus; and of my brothers one was called Faustinus, and the other Faustinianus. 1146 Then after I, their third son, was born, my mother saw a vision\u2014so my father told me\u2014which told her, that unless she immediately took away her twin sons, and left the city of Rome for exile for twelve years, she and they must die by an all-destructive fate.\n[The family names as given in the Recognitions are: Matthidia; Faustinianus (the father); Faustinus and Faustus, the twin sons.\u2014Comp.
