Broughton: The Consuls entered office as supporters of Antony, bringing despatches from him which included a request to ratify the titles and gifts included in the so-called Alexandrine Donations (see 34, on Antony), and an offer to resign his triumviral powers (which had now legally lapsed, see below, Triumviri R. P. C.). Sosius made an attack on Octavian, and Octavian later reconvened the Senate, defended himself and attacked in turn Sosius and Antony, and promised to prove his charges against Antony when the Senate reconvened. Before then the Consuls and 300 senators left Rome to join Antony in Ephesus (a). In the East with Antony, Domitius urged him to send Cleopatra away to Egypt (b). He probably became a commander in Antony's fleet (c).
