Upon King Eumenes' proposal for an alliance, the Achaeans ratified it in their assembly and sent military aid consisting of infantry and cavalry led by Diophanes.
ὅτι καὶ κατὰ τὴν Ἑλλάδα, πρεσβείας παραγενομένης1 εἰς Ἀχαΐαν παρʼ Εὐμένους τοῦ βασιλέως ὑπὲρ συμμαχίας, ἁθροισθέντες εἰς ἐκκλησίαν οἱ πολλοὶ τῶν Ἀχαιῶν τήν τε συμμαχίαν ἐπεκύρωσαν καὶ νεανίσκους ἐξαπέστειλαν, πεζοὺς μὲν χιλίους ἱππεῖς δʼ ἑκατόν,2 ὧν ἡγεῖτο3 Διοφάνης ὁ Μεγαλοπολίτης. —
ὅτι That in Greece also, when an embassy from King Eumenes arrived in Achaea to propose an alliance, ἁθροισθέντες the majority of the Achaeans, having assembled in their assembly, both ratified the alliance and dispatched young men—one thousand infantry and one hundred cavalry—who were led by Diophanes of Megalopolis. —
- 21.3b.1πρεσβείας παραγενομένης
A genitive absolute construction, expressing the temporal and circumstantial background for the main action.
- 21.3b.2νεανίσκους... πεζοὺς μὲν χιλίους ἱππεῖς δʼ ἑκατόν
The accusative noun "νεανίσκους" (young men) is followed by a description of its specific military composition ("πεζοὺς μὲν χιλίους ἱππεῖς δʼ ἑκατόν") in apposition.
- 21.3b.2ὧν ἡγεῖτο
The relative pronoun "ὧν" refers to "νεανίσκους" and is in the genitive case because it is governed by the verb "ἡγεῖτο", which takes its complement in the genitive.
