Balbus' fleet had arived slowly to Syria.

He heard the news immediately on arriving that Pompey had been injured in Lycia.

"Thats something of a relief." he thought. The man could hardly be his friend.

"I guess i can only march to Antioch, for now. Strange though...I think I outrank everyone here." Balbus laughed to himself.

ooc: marching with the II italica to Antioch. that is in the same province so i will meet Gnaeus Minor tomorrow.
