1When this speech had been delivered with such steadiness of voice and expression that he seemed to be moving not out of life but from one house to another, and when Agrippa, weeping and kissing him, begged and implored him not to hasten for himself what nature was compelling, and, since he might even then survive the crisis, to preserve himself for himself and his family, he silenced his entreaties with his own unspeaking obstinacy. 3So when he had abstained from food for two days, suddenly the fever left him and the disease began to be lighter. 3Yet he carried out his purpose none the less, and so on the fifth day after adopting that plan, on the day before the Kalends.
3of April, in the consulship of Gnaeus Domitius and Gaius Sosius, he died. 4He was carried out on a small litter, as he himself had directed, without any funeral procession, attended by all the respectable citizens and by a very great crowd of the common people. 4He was buried beside the Appian Way at the fifth milestone, in the tomb of Quintus Caecilius, his uncle.
