The consular and praetorian elections are held, and at the end of the year, letters arrive from Titus Quinctius announcing his victory over King Philip, prompting a public thanksgiving. Envoys are received, a peace commission of ten members is appointed, and a petition from Cosa to increase its colonists is granted under certain conditions.

After the triumph, the consular elections were held. The consuls elected were Lucius Furius Purpureo and Marcus Claudius Marcellus. On the following day, the praetors were appointed: Quintus Fabius Buteo, Tiberius Sempronius Longus, Quintus Minucius Thermus, Manius Acilius Glabrio, Lucius Apustius Fullo, and Gaius Laelius.
exitu ferme anni litterae a. T. Quinctio venerunt se signis conlatis cum rege Philippo in Thessalia pugnasse,2 hostium exercitum fusum fugatumque.
Near the close of the year, letters arrived from Titus Quinctius stating that he had fought a pitched battle with King Philip in Thessaly, and that the enemy’s army had been routed and put to flight.
hae litterae prius in senatu a M. Sergio praetore, deinde ex auctoritate patrum in contione sunt recitatae et ob res prospere gestas in dies quinque supplicationes decretae.
This letter was read first in the senate by Marcus Sergius the praetor, and then, by authority of the senators, in the public assembly, and a thanksgiving of five days was decreed on account of the successful achievements.
brevi post legati et ab T. Quinctio et ab rege Philippo venerunt. Macedones deducti extra urbem in villam publicam, ibique eis locus et lautia praebita et ad aedem Bellonae senatus datus.
Shortly after, envoys arrived both from Titus Quinctius and from King Philip. The Macedonians were conducted outside the city to the Villa Publica, and there lodging and entertainment were provided for them, and an audience with the senate was granted at the temple of Bellona.
ibi haud multa verba facta, cum Macedones, quodcumque senatus censuisset, id regem facturum esse dicerent.
There, not many words were spoken, since the Macedonians stated that the king would do whatever the senate should decree.
decem legati more maiorum, quorum ex consilio T. Quinctius imperator leges pacis Philippo daret, decreti, adiectumque, ut in eo numero legatorum P. Sulpicius et P. Villius essent, qui consules provinciam Macedoniam obtinuissent.
In accordance with ancestral custom, ten commissioners were decreed, by whose advice the commander Titus Quinctius was to grant terms of peace to Philip, and it was added that Publius Sulpicius and Publius Villius, who as consuls had held Macedonia as their province, should be included in that number of commissioners.
Cosanis † eo die postulantibus, ut sibi colonorum numerus augeretur, mille adscribi iussi, dum ne3 quis in eo numero esset, qui post P. Cornelium et Ti. Sempronium consules4 hostis fuisset.
When the people of Cosa petitioned on that day that the number of their colonists should be increased, one thousand were ordered to be enrolled, provided that no one should be included in that number who, after the consulship of Publius Cornelius and Tiberius Sempronius, had been an enemy.
- 33.24.1secundum
Preposition governing the accusative triumphum, meaning "after" or "following". It is not the adjective meaning "second".
- 33.24.3litterae ... venerunt se ... pugnasse
The content of the letters (litterae) arriving with the verb venerunt is expressed in indirect discourse via the accusative and infinitive clauses (se ... pugnasse and exercitum fusum [esse]). The pronoun se refers to the sender, Titus Quinctius.
- 33.24.9dum ne
Accompanied by the subjunctive esset, this introduces a negative proviso clause meaning "provided that... not" or "on condition that... not".
- 33.24.9post P. Cornelium et Ti. Sempronium consules
A temporal expression meaning "after the consulship of Publius Cornelius and Tiberius Sempronius" (referring to 218 BC, the start of the Second Punic War). It features the standard Latin idiom of naming the consuls alongside consules to designate a year, here governed by the preposition post.
