Hvgo, vbi supra. Porro cum esset lasciuus Antonius correptus amore Cleopatrae Aegypti Reginae: repudiata Augusti sorore, ipsam sibi Cleopatram matrimonio copulauit, & Augusto bellum indixit: sed Augustus apud prima nouorum motuum signa, cum trecentis nauibus a Brundusio in Epirum transmeauit. Antonius vero occupauerat Atticum littus: sed vbi ventum est ad praelium, & Autusti classis coepit Antonij nauigium turbare: Cleopatra Regina cum aurea puppe, veloque purpureo prima fugere coepit, & illico insecutus est eam Antonius: Instareque vestigiis Augusti, quod cernens Antonius propria se manu interemit. Regina vero ad pedes Augusti prouoluta tentauit oculos eius, sed spreta ab eo, desperauit. Quae, vbi se triumpho seruari cognouit: & incautiorem nacta custodiam, in Mausoleum odoribus refertum iuxta suum se collacuit Antonium. Deinde admotis sibi serpentibus morte sopita est. Tunc Augustus potitus Alexandria vrbe omnium vrbium tunc opulentissima, Romam triumphans ingressus est, quibus patratis Parthi inclyti nominis eius fama inuitati, licet iam se pares Romanorum magnitudini crederent, Romana signa, quae Crasso interfecto, diripuerunt: vltro ei reddiderunt, & obsidibus traditis firmum foedus ab eo fideli supplicatione suscipere meruerunt. Eusebius in chronicis. Igitur Cleopatra, & Antonio a semet interfectis, & Alexandriae regno destructo: anno Imperij Augusti quintodecimo: Aegyptus Romana prouincia fit, quam primus Cornelius Gallus Poeta rexit.

Translation (by Míceál F. Vaughan, August 1999; rev. October 2000):

Hugh [of Fleury], in the place cited above. Then since the lustful Antony had been carried away by the love of Cleopatra, the queen of Egypt, after he had repudiated the sister of Augustus, he coupled himself in matrimony to the same Cleopatra, and declared war on Augustus. But Augustus, at the first sign of new rebellions, went over from Brundisium to Epirus with three hundred ships. Antony, on the other hand, had occupied the Attic shore. When it came to battle, however, and Augustus's fleet began to throw Antony's fleet into turbulent confusion, Cleopatra the queen was the first to begin to flee with her golden stern and purple sail, and antony followed immediately after her; and the imperial forces (or Augustus) kept pressing upon (their) tracks, which when Antony perceived it, he killed himself with his own hand. The queen, on the other hand, cast herself at Augustus's feet to tempt his eyes, but spurned by him she fell into despair. And she, when she realized that she was being kept safe for a triumph, and having discovered a guard who was not particularly alert, she set herself next to her antony in a mausoleum filled with perfumes. Then, after the serpents had been brought near, she haid herself to rest in death.

Then Augustus, after having won control of Alexandria, at that time the most opulent of all cities, entered Rome in triumph.  When these matters had been concluded, the Parthians, inspired by the fame of his illustrious reputation--even though they still believed themselves peers of the Romans in greatness--voluntarily returned to him the Roman standards which they had plundered after the death of Crassus, and, after handing over pledges, they obtained from him, by their earnest supplication, the establishment of a lasting treaty.

Eusebius in the Chronicles. And so when Cleopaptra and Antony had killed themselves, and when the kingdom of Alexandria had been destroyed, in the fifteenth year of Emperor Augustus, Egypt became a Roman province, which the poet Cornelius Gallus first took charge of. And from this point in time certain people compute the first year of Augustus's monarchy (sole rule).
