Philip withdraws to Macedonia and initiates peace negotiations with Rome. Meanwhile, the Aetolians complain that the Roman general Quinctius is neglecting them, while Quinctius, angered by their greed and arrogance, deliberately acts to diminish their standing.
Philippus conlectis ex fuga, qui1 variis casibus pugnae dissipati vestigia eius secuti fuerant, missisque Larisam ad commentarios regios comburendos, ne in hostium venirent potestatem, in Macedoniam concessit.
Philip, having collected from the flight those who, scattered by various chances of the battle, had followed his tracks, and having sent men to Larissa to burn the royal archives lest they should fall into the hands of the enemy, withdrew into Macedonia.
Quinctius captivis praedaque partim venumdatis, partim militi concessis Larisam est profectus, hauddum satis gnarus, quam regionem petisset rex quidve pararet.
Quinctius, after the captives and booty had been partly sold and partly granted to the soldiers, set out for Larissa, not yet knowing well enough which region the king had headed for or what he was preparing.
caduceator eo regius venit, specie ut indutiae essent, donec tollerentur ad sepulturam, qui in acie cecidissent, re vera ad petendam veniam legatis mittendis.2
A royal herald came there, ostensibly to obtain a truce until those who had fallen in battle could be gathered for burial, but in reality to seek peace by sending envoys.
utrumque ab Romano impetratum. adiecta etiam illa vox, bono animo esse regem ut iuberet,3 quae maxime Aetolos offendit iam tumentis querentisque mutatum victoria imperatorem:
Both requests were granted by the Roman. There was also added this expression, that he should bid the king to be of good courage, which especially offended the Aetolians, who were already swollen with pride and complaining that the general had been changed by victory:
ante pugnam omnia magna parvaque communicare cum sociis solitum; nunc omnium expertes consiliorum esse, suo ipsum arbitrio cuncta agere, cum Philippo iam gratiae privatae locum quaerere, ut dura atque aspera belli Aetoli exhauserint, pacis gratiam et fructum Romanus in se vertat. et haud dubie decesserat iis aliquantum honoris; sed cur neglegerentur, ignorabant. donis regis inminere credebant invicti ab ea cupiditate animi virum;4
that before the battle he had been accustomed to share all things great and small with the allies; but now they were excluded from all counsels, and he did everything by his own sole judgment, and that he was now seeking room for private favor with Philip, so that while the Aetolians had exhausted the hard and bitter trials of the war, the Roman was turning the gratitude and fruit of peace to himself. And indeed, some portion of their honor had undoubtedly departed; but why they were neglected, they did not know. They believed that a man of a spirit unconquered by such desire was intent upon the gifts of the king;
sed et suscensebat non inmerito Aetolis ob insatiabilem aviditatem praedae et arrogantiam eorum, victoriae gloriam in se rapientium, quae vanitate sua omnium aures offendebat, et Philippo sublato, fractis opibus Macedonici regni Aetolos habendos Graeciae dominos cernebat.
but he also, not without reason, was angry with the Aetolians on account of their insatiable greed for plunder and their arrogance, snatching the glory of the victory for themselves, which by its vanity offended the ears of all, and he saw that if Philip were removed and the power of the Macedonian kingdom broken, the Aetolians would have to be regarded as the masters of Greece.
ob eas causas multa sedulo, ut viliores levioresque apud omnis essent et viderentur, faciebat.
For these reasons he did many things of set purpose, so that they might be and appear cheaper and lighter in the eyes of all.
- 33.11.1conlectis ex fuga, qui
The ablative absolute participle conlectis ("having been collected") acts as the implied antecedent to the relative pronoun qui ("who").
- 33.11.3ad petendam veniam legatis mittendis
The gerundive phrase of purpose ad petendam veniam ("to seek pardon") is combined with the gerundive phrase legatis mittendis ("by sending envoys"), expressing a combined purposeful action.
- 33.11.4bono animo esse regem ut iuberet
The ut iuberet clause is a noun clause in apposition explaining the content of illa vox ("that word"). The accusative with infinitive bono animo esse regem ("that the king be of good courage") serves as the object of iuberet ("he should bid").
- 33.11.7invicti ab ea cupiditate animi virum
virum (referring to Quinctius) is the subject accusative of the infinitive clause dependent on credebant. It is modified by the genitive of quality invicti ab ea cupiditate animi ("of a mind unconquered by that desire").
